Mucosal lesions
erosion or ulcer (esophagitis, gastritis, Mallory-Weiss tear, stress ulcer,
petic ulcer)
Portal Hypertension
portal sirculation, prahepatic lesion (porta vein trombosis and
splenicus), fibrotic and cirrhosis hepatic
Vascular lesions
herediter, chronic, reccurent tranfusion, GIT bleeding in family
(telangectasia hemorragic, Klippel Trenaunnay sindr)
Evaluation of GIT bleeding
Source of bleeding
Other bleeding source ? (ENT, teeth, nasopharincs, )
Food and drugs : Fe, bismuth, commercial dyes, spinash, beet,
grape, chocolate,
Mother or infants (Apt-downey test) Squires RH, 1999
Bleeding characteristic
red blood hematemesis : masive bleeding
melena : bleeding > 2% of blood volume,
hematochezia (++) : masif upper GIT bleeding
BP, tachycardia, pale, peripher perfusion, sweat, delirium
bleeding (+++)
10 mmhg sistolic pressure, pulse 20x/min (supine to upright)
intravascular blood lost 15-20%
Evaluation of GIT bleeding
On going bleeding
Strick observation on pulse frequency, blood presure, and
respiratory rate (every 15 min)
Identify the bleeding source
Hematemesis
recent or ongoing hemorrhage proximal to the ligament of Treitz
Hematochezia
bright red or maroon-colored stool & suggest that the bleeding is
from the colon
Brisk and significant upper GIT
Recommended
the patient has been stabilized
within 24 hours of admission or onset of bleeding
Diagnostic and therapeutic
Pathology
Bleeding scan
To better localize an intermittently bleeding site, small volume, site
not easily reachable with the endoscope
99mTc-labled Red Cells
Blood flow at least 0.1 ml/min
Angiography Bleeding
- is massive or chronic / recurrent bleeding
- In case where endoscopy and UGI r series have failed to identify
a source of bleeding
- Blood flow at least 0.5 ml/min
How frequent the bleeding ?
Infectious colitis + 75 %
General
Establish whether the child is stable hemodynamically
Resuscitation & general therapeutic modalities
Fluid (cristaloid, RL) and blood resuscitation must be started
immediately
Laboratory : hb, ht, platelet, serum electrolyte, blood
urea/creatinine, coagulation
Packed red cell, platelet
Mucosal lesion
hyperemic, erosi, ulcer : antacid, H2 antagonist, PPI
bleeding ulcer : Clips, fibrin glue, adrenalin 1:10.000, ect
ulcerative colitis : antibiotic, corticosteroid, sulfasalazine
CMA colitis : eliminasi CM
Coagulopathies
