  3. Oesophagus

  4. Stomach

  5. Duodenum

  6. History taking • Complaints Haematemesis Malena Haemotochezia Pain Light-headedness, syncope, dyspnoea, altered mental status (blood loss symptoms) occult blood loss (anaemia)

  7. Malena and Coffee ground vomiting

  8. Contd., • H/o Drug intake – Aspirin, Anticoagulants (warfarin), NSAIDS, Clopidogrel, steroids • H/o Alcohol intake, smoking • H/o Weight loss Past History : Chronic liver disease, peptic ulcer, bleeding Disorders

  9. Examination • General Examination Mental status Eyes – Pallor, Jaundice Liver disease – caput medusae, spider angiomas, ascites, palmarerythema, flap Bleeding disorders – Petechia, echymosis Vital Signs – BP, HR, SaO2, RR, T⁰, CRF Urine output

  10. Jaundice and Anaemia

  11. Liver disease

  12. Petechiae/Echymosis

  13. Examination – contd., • Abdominal Inspection – Shape, symmetry, Dilated Veins, signs of liver failure Palpation – tenderness, Splenomegaly, hepatomegaly Percussion – Shifting dullness, Fluid thrill Auscultation – BS, Bruit Rectal Examination – Fresh blood, Malena CVS, RS, Neurological Examination

  14. Investigation • FBC, Coagulation profile, U&ES, LFT, CRP, Calcium • Type and Crossmatch Blood • ECG • CXR • OGD • Angiogram CT or Catheter • Nasogastric lavage • USS/CT (to assess liver disease) • Tc-99m-labeled erythrocyte scans (rarely)

  15. Management • RESUSCITATION – ABCDE • Fluid and BLOOD Replacement • Medical Management - PPIs, Vasoactive agents, B-blocker, ISMN (to prevent re-bleeding) • Endoscopic management – Adrenaline, coagulation, banding, clipping • Interventional Angiography – coiling, TIPS • Surgical Management
