Patient's question:
Gastrointestinal bleeding was rescued by the hospital but ineffective, close to death. The cause was ultimately not found. The doctor said: due to the extensive skin damage, it is impossible to perform an endoscopy. The patient was sent to the hospital around 9:00 PM on the 12th and passed away around 2:00 PM on the 15th.Hello: Is gastrointestinal bleeding really this dangerous? Is there really no way to treat it?
Doctor's answer:
Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, after general surgery, intravenous infusion, acid suppression, medication application, and other solutions, should first consider emergency department gastroscopy for a thorough examination to identify the bleeding site, and medication can be applied through the gastroscopy. However, in cases of heavy bleeding, the stomach cavity is filled with blood, making it difficult to clearly observe the gastric mucosa and identify the bleeding focus with gastroscopy. There are many treatment methods for gastric bleeding, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the patient as soon as possible to provide targeted treatment.
