What about upper gastrointestinal bleeding?

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding includes bleeding caused by diseases of esophagus, stomach, duodenum or pancreaticobiliary duct. Massive hemorrhage means that the blood loss exceeds 1L or 20% of the circulating blood volume within a few hours.

The main clinical manifestations are hematemesis and/or melena, often accompanied by acute peripheral circulation failure caused by hypovolemia.

The causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding are esophageal diseases (inflammation, ulcer, tumor, injury and rupture of esophagus and gastric fundus vein caused by portal hypertension, etc. ), stomach and duodenal diseases (inflammation, ulcer, mucosal prolapse, tumor, etc. )

1. Absolute bed rest in acute phase, and proper cold liquid food can be eaten after stopping bleeding 12 hours. When vomiting blood, the head is low and the feet are high, and the head is tilted to one side to ensure oxygen supply to the brain and prevent blood from flowing into the respiratory tract and causing suffocation.

2. Stabilize optimistic mood and avoid anxiety and mental stress.

3. The diet should be quantified regularly, but if you are too hungry, you should avoid eating irritating foods and drinks and choose foods with less crude fiber.

4. Actively treat the primary disease.

Some patients have chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which is difficult for them to feel, but anemia of unknown cause can be found through routine examination.
