Introduction
•GI bleeding is a common clinical problem accounting
for 1-2% of all acute admissions with diverse
manifestations.
•May range from trivial to massive
•Can originate from any region of the GIT including
the esophagus, stomach ,Intestines, pancreas, liver
and biliary tree.
History

UPPER GI BLEEDING
Definition
•Upper GI bleeding is bleeding that arises from the GI
tract proximal to the ligament of Treitz.
•Accounts for ~80% of significant GI bleeding.
Causes of Upper GI bleeding
•Can be classified based on their relation to portal
HTN into:-
Non variceal Bleeding(80%) Variceal Bleeding(20%)
PUD (30-50%) Gastroesophageal Varices (>90%)
Mallory Weiss syndrome (15-20%) Hypertensive Portal gastropathy(<5%)
Gastritis or duodenitis (10-15%) Isolated gastric varices (rare)
Esophagitis (5-10%)
Arteriovenous malformation(5%)
Tumours (2%)
Others (5%)
Non variceal bleeding
• ~10-15% of patients with PUD develop bleeding.
• It is the most frequent indication for operation and the principal cause
of death.
• Duodenal ulcers are more common than gastric ulcers.
• massive bleeding
PUD
• If the patient is not at risk of rebleeding
-Assess for H. pylori
-Treat with PPI.
Endoscopic therapy –
- epinephrine injection,
- Thermal coagulation&
- Clipping at ulcer site to constrict or
compress
surgical treatment –for patients at high risk of failed
endoscopic therapy.
➢Indications for Surgery in GI
hemorrhage
=› Hemodynamic instability despite vigorous resuscitation
=› Failure of endoscopic techniques to arrest hemorrhage
=› Recurrent hemorrhage after initial stabilization
=› Shock associated with recurrent hemorrhage
=› Continued slow bleeding .
CTD….
◆ Measures to prevent re-bleeding;
✓ H. pylori; most common cause of PUD should be treated.
✓ NSAIDs,SSRI should be discontinued.
Mallory Weiss syndrome
• common in alcoholic patients
• Most tears occur along the lesser curvature
• Dx by history(may be missed wz endoscopy)
• 90% of bleeding are self limited
• Recurrent bleeding is uncommon
management
Mallory Weiss syndrome
❖ resuscitation
❖Local Endoscopic therapy wz injection
❖ angiographic embolization
❖If this mauver failed high gastrotomy and
sutring of z mucosal tear
❖Avoid alcohol
Gastritis
•Results from acid and pepsin injury due to ischemia
from hypoperfusion states.
•Also caused by NSAIDs, ,stress, alcohol
•Cxzed by the appearance of multiple superficial
erosion of the entire stomach.
•Clinical presentation-painless upper GI bleeding.
management
❖Treatment of underlying sepsis
❖Discontinuation of NSAIDs
❖saline lavage & remove any pooled blood
❖Ng tube decompression
❖H2 antagonists
❖PPIs or Sucralfate
❖If failed, Vasopressin Or Surgical Tx- Vagotomy and
pyloroplasty
❖Prophylactic antiacid
Gastritis
Esophagitis
• Due to repeated exposure of esophageal mucosa to the acid
gastric secretion in GERD.
• Results in inflammatory response which can involve chronic
blood loss.
• Also caused by a variety of infectious agents particularly in
immunocompromised patients
• Medications, Crohn's disease, radiation are additional causes.
Management
❖Acid suppressive therapy.
❖Give antibiotic for infections.
❖Endoscopic control of the hemorrhage.
❖ Operation is seldomly necessary.
Esophagitis
Tumors
❖usually associated with chronic anemia
❖ can also present ulcerative lesions that bleed
persistently
❖ endoscopic therapy is often successful in
controlling hemorrhage
❖surgical resection.
Variceal bleeding
-Are almost always emergencies
causing hemodynamic shock &
multi organ failure
❖High risk of rebleeding,need for
transfusion & increased mortality
Complications of variceal bleeding
• The complications of variceal bleeding are due to either the bleeding
itself or the procedures used to control bleeding.
• Bleeding-related complications include vascular collapse and
hypotension, encephalopathy, aspiration, and subacute bacterial
peritonitis.
Management of Variceal Bleeding
❖General Resuscitation
❖Air way protection
❖Correct coagulopathy
❖Drug Therapy
❖Endoscopic Tx
✓ sclerotherapy using ethanolamine oleate
or butyl cyanoacrylate
✓ Banding
Esophageal ballon
tamponade(Sengstaken-Balkemore
tube)
✓reserved for patients with
massive hemorrhage to permit
more definitive therapies.
Prevention of variceal bleeding
•Treating the underlying cause of
bleeding varices
•Treating liver diseases earlier
• prophylactic b-blockers
LOWER GASTROINTESTINAL
BLEEDING
Lower GI Bleeding
❖LGI bleeding is defined as hemorrhage into the lumen of
the bowel from a source distal to the ligament of Treitz.
Causes of lower GI bleeding
❖Colorectal Cancer
❖IBD (UC, Crohn’s Disease)
❖Diverticular disease
❖ Anorectal disease
❖Mesenteric ischemia
❖Angiodysplasia
Diverticular Disease
Diverticulum: herniation of mucosa
through the circular muscle at the
site of penetration of blood vessels.
60% of people over 70 yo,very rare
before 35 yo
Most common segment affected is
sigmoid colon.
Its related to high intraluminal
pressure
Types of diverticuli
True diverticulum
• - congenital, young
• - proximal colon
• - pouch contain all layer
False diverticulum
• - acquired, elderly
• - distal colon
• pouch contain only mucosa
Meckel's diverticulum
 is a true diverticulum in that it contains all layers of the small
bowel wall, located in the distal ileum just 2 feet of the ileocecal
valve.
 It’s the most common congenital abnormality OF the GIT
A memory aid is the rule of 2s:
2% (of the population).
2 feet (from the ileocecal valve).
2 inches (in length)
2 types of common ectopic tissue (gastric and pancreatic).
2 years is the most common age at clinical presentation.
2 :1 male: female
.
5% symptomatic
o Abdominal pain, painless rectal bleeding, vomiting.
 Bleeding from Meckel's diverticulum is usually from an ulcerative
lesion on the ileal wall opposite the diverticulum, caused by acid
production by ectopic gastric mucosa.
Management
• T he best method for diagnosis and treatment is colonoscopy
✓If bleeding diverticula is identified
➢Epinephrine injection
➢Electrocautery
➢Endoscopic clips
✓If bleeding persists
➢Angiography with embolization
❖Indications for resection of the adjacent bowel:
➢ Bleeding
➢ strangulation
➢ bowel obstruction
Ulcerative Colitis
• A relapsing and remitting inflammatory disease
originating in the colonic mucosa and submucosa.
• UC is limited to the colon. Begins in the rectum and can
extend proximally, but rarely beyond ileocaecal junction.
• M = F but 2 peaks:
• i) 14-40 years old
• ii) 15% of new pts >60 years old at diagnosis
Complications of UC
❖Perforation,
➢Haemorrhage,
➢Toxic Megacolon (hypotonic, grossly distended bowel > 5cm)
➢Colorectal Ca
N.B death if complication is inadequately treated
Extraintestinal Manifestations in IBD
Crohn’s disease
❖Chronic transmural inflammatory GI Disease which is
non-caseating & granulomatous in nature. Associated
with recurrence in severe disease and extraintestinal
manifestations.
❖Can affect any portion of GI tract →Terminal Ileum
(50%) & Proximal Colon common. Inflammation is
discontinuous and separated by normal gut mucosa
(‘skip lesions’).
❖M = F affects any age but majority of cases between
11-35 years old
Complications in CD
➢Full-thickness mucosal inflammation→ Stricture→ Small bowel
obstruction
➢Abscess formation between loops of intestine
➢Perforation
➢Fistula formation: Enteroenteric, Enterocutaneous and Vesicocolic
Colorectal Cancer
❖3rd commonest malignancy in UK
❖M:F = 3:1 peak age 45-70yo
❖Risk Factor’s:
➢FH of Colorectal Ca, FAP, HNPCC,
➢Prev Hx of Colon, Breast, Ovarian or Uterine Ca
➢Prev Hx of Adenomatous Polyps
➢Chronic UC or Colonic Crohn’s disease
➢Western diet, Obesity, Smoking
❖Presentation depends on site:
➢Left-sided: Altered bowel habit (constipation & diarrhoea), PR ( bright
red bleeding coating the stool), Tenesmus, Painful defecation ,Small
diameter of Left Colon → Tendency towards obstruction
➢Right-sided: Present later. Weight loss, Right abdo pain/mass,
Tendency to bleed,PR (Blood mixed in with stools), high incidence of
IDA
❖Emergency (40%): Obstruction, Perforation with
Peritonitis, Acute Haemorrhage
Mesenteric ischemia
It is reduction of blood flow to intestine
Classification
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI)
Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI)
Colonic ischemia (CI)
PATHOPHYSILOGY
Impaired microcirculation leads to activation of inflammatory cells ,
and bacterial translocation
RISK FACTORS
age > 65 year
atherosclerotic disease
preexisting cardiovascular diseases (e.g. CHF)
known hypercoagulable state
Medication (e.g. vasopressor)
Inraabdomina malignancy

* Rapid surgical intervention is required
Angiodysplasia
It is acquired arteriovenous malformation in the colonic submucosa
is responsible for 3-20% LGI Bleeding
It is degenerative disease secondary to progressive dilatation of
normal blood vessels in submucosa
Cont’d….....

• Mostly associated with renal failure and aortic stenosis
• presents with recurrent fresh blood bleeding
• Often asymptomatic
diagnosis

Dilated, slowly emptying veins
management
• Bleeding stops spontaneously in most cases with high recurrence rate
within 5 years
• Arterial embolization
• Endoscopic coagulation
if bleeding fails to stop surgical resection is effective
