Filter by:Gastrointestinal bleeding is a condition that frequently presents to emergency departments and can be fatal if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. The working mechanism of end tidal capnography is simply to detect the respiratory carbon dioxide level. In our study, the investigators aimed to determine the severity of gastrointestinal bleeding by using the Glaskow Blachford Score and AIMS65 score in cases presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding, to determine the end tidal carbon dioxide value by capnography in these cases and to determine its effectiveness in evaluating mortality and morbidity in gastrointestinal bleeding.
BACKGROUND: Data on the awareness of the need to evaluate iron status and IDA prevalence in acute UGIB are limited. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the rate of evaluation of iron status and prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and the associated factors in patients with anemia hospitalized for acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).
In this study, it was aimed to compare the frequency of new oral anticoagulants and warfarin usage, and to reveal the rates of recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding among patients who applied to our hospital with upper gastrointestinal bleeding
Gastrointestinal system bleedings are medical emergencies and the most common cause of hospital admissions related to digestive system diseases. Gastrointestinal system bleedings are a frequently encountered condition and one of the significant reasons leading to morbidity, mortality, and medical care costs. For acute upper gastrointestinal system bleedings, the annual hospital admission incidence in the United States is approximately 67 per 100,000 adults, making it more common than lower gastrointestinal system bleedings. Approximately 80% of acute upper gastrointestinal system bleedings are attributed to non-variceal causes. Endoscopy is an invasive procedure used for diagnosis and treatment in upper gastrointestinal system bleedings. . In recent years, there has been an increase in endoscopy and endoscopic treatment rates. Except for variceal bleedings, most upper gastrointestinal system bleedings stop without the need for endoscopic intervention. However, some patients require endoscopic intervention and identifying this high-risk group, prone to recurrent bleeding, through non-invasive tests is crucial. In investigators' prospective study, researcher aimed to facilitate the identification of patients who require intervention and undergo endoscopic intervention (e.g., epinephrine injection, hemoclips, thermal coagulation, argon plasma coagulation, etc.) among those who underwent endoscopy within the first 24 hours after admission to the hospital's emergency department with a diagnosis of non-variceal acute upper gastrointestinal system bleeding. Investigators sought to achieve this by determining the relevant parameters related to their clinical and laboratory findings, comorbidities, and demographic characteristics at the time of admission. This approach aims to reduce hospital admissions, hospital stay, and costs, and particularly to minimize interventional procedures during seizures and decrease complications.As of August 2022, patients who applied to the Ankara Bilkent City Hospital emergency department were followed up.
More than 80% of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) are hospitalized after their visit to the emergency department (ED). However, some of these hospitalizations do not seem justified. Several clinical scores have been developed to classify patients according to their risk of death or need for therapeutic intervention. The aims of this study are: 1. to describe the characteristics of patients hospitalized for UGIB after their visit to the ED 2. to assess the predictive factors of hospital intervention or death 3. to assess the accuracy of existing prognostic scores to classify patients according their risk of death or need for therapeutic intervention (external validation) and to identify low-risk patients not requiring intervention. 4. Depending on the results, a new score could be derived to identify patients at low risk for intervention or death.
In patients who show signs of bleeding and bleeding after polypectomy such as EMR and ESD for polyps with a diameter of 2 cm or more in the lower gastrointestinal tract, the effectiveness and safety of Nexpowder as an endoscopic hemostatic treatment are confirmed.
The study aims to investigate the effect of the optimized bowel preparation and boost regimens on colon capsule endoscopy procedures, specifically on cleanliness and completion rate.
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a frequent reason for consultation in the Emergency Department. It is a real emergency associated with fairly significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (HDH) has been reported to be 67-103 per 100,000 adults per year in the UK with mortality rates of 2%-8%. While Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding (LBHB) has a lower incidence estimated at 33 per 100,000 adults per year. Additionally, compared to HDB, HDB appears to have less need for hemostatic intervention and lower mortality.
The objective of the investigation is to evaluate the feasibility of detecting blood in healthy volunteers after ingestion of autologous blood mixed with water.
This is a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, open-label, exploratory clinical investigation performed to evaluate safety and effectiveness of the PillSense System when used for detection of blood in the stomach of patients suspected to have an Upper Gastrointestinal Bleed (UGIB).
