About the Case Presentation
Hemorrhage in the gastrointestinal tract (GI) is a frequent, possibly fatal medical emergency that frequently results in admission to the critical care unit. In patients with gastrointestinal bleeding who are at high risk due to severe bleeding, comorbidities, or the presence of endoscopic stigmata of recent hemorrhage, the intensivist is a crucial part of the medical team. In the initial patient assessment, triage, resuscitation, specialist consultation, diagnostic evaluation, and medicinal therapy, let’s examine the intensivist approach to GI hemorrhage.
