    Common diagnosis and treatment guidelines, easy to grasp!


     

    Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the common acute and critical diseases in the emergency department, with an annual incidence of 100/100,000~180,000/100,000 in adults [1], and a case fatality rate of 2%~15% [2].


    It is common to encounter acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the night shift in clinical work, which greatly tests the mentality and professional ability
    of the doctor on duty.
    How to perform an effective emergency response and see what the guide says!

    1.
    Conventional measures


    • Patients with high-risk acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding should be treated
      urgently.

    • Oxygen, monitoring, and establishment of intravenous access
      .

    • Absolutely bedridden, continuous monitoring of ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation
      .

    • OPEN AT LEAST TWO INTRAVENOUS ROUTES (MINIMUM 18 G) FOR SEVERE BLEEDING AND CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETERIZATION
      IF NECESSARY.

    • If consciousness is impaired or respiratory or circulatory failure, attention should be paid to airway protection, oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation support if necessary, and indwelling catheters
      .

    • Careful placement of the gastric tube, especially in patients with cirrhosis, esophageal variceal bleeding (EGVB), or poor fit.


    2.
    Volume resuscitation 1.
    Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding with hemodynamically

    unstable indications should be volume resuscitation

    in time to restore and maintain perfusion of vital organs
    .

    2.
    Strategy

    • Restrictive fluid resuscitation and permissible hypotension are used when bleeding is uncontrolled, and systolic blood pressure is maintained at 80 to 90 mmHg
      .

    • Bleeding has been controlled and resuscitation is aggressively based
      on basal blood pressure levels.

    • Aggressive invasive hemodynamic monitoring in acute major bleeding to prevent hypothermia, acidosis, coagulopathy, and exacerbation
      of underlying disease.

    3.
    Amount and type of liquid

    • In hemorrhagic shock, reducing crystalloid infusion (less than 3 L in the first 6 hours), artificial colloids or hypertonic solutions are not significantly beneficial
      .

    • Adequate indicators of volume resuscitation: blood pressure returned to the baseline level before bleeding, pulse < 100 beats/min, urine output > 0.
      5mL/
      (kg·h), clear consciousness, no significant dehydration, arterial blood lactate returned to normal
      .

    • Variceal bleeding and excessive fluids may worsen bleeding
      .
