Gastrointestinal Bleeding Management

Rapid Diagnosis. Immediate Treatment. Life-Saving Care.

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a medical emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and immediate intervention. Endoscopic management plays a critical role in identifying the bleeding source and delivering targeted treatment in the same setting. Our center provides comprehensive endoscopic bleeding control for both upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding, ensuring fast stabilization and optimal outcomes—even in high-risk patients.

Upper GI Endoscopy Equipment

Why Endoscopic Bleeding Management is Crucial?

Timely endoscopic intervention:

  • Identifies the exact source of bleeding
  • Allows immediate hemostasis (bleeding control)
  • Reduces mortality and complication rates
  • Minimizes blood transfusion requirements
  • Shortens hospital stay and recovery time

Peptic Ulcer Bleeding

Bleeding due to gastric or duodenal ulcers is managed using advanced endoscopic techniques, tailored to the severity and ulcer size.

Treatment options include:

  • Hemoclipping to mechanically seal bleeding vessels
  • Injection therapy for active bleeding control
  • Ovesco (OTSC) clip application for large, deep, or refractory ulcers

These techniques provide durable hemostasis and significantly reduce rebleeding risk.

Variceal Bleeding Management

Variceal bleeding, commonly seen in patients with liver disease and portal hypertension, is managed with specialized endoscopic therapies.

  • Esophageal varices: Treated with endoscopic band ligation
  • Fundal (gastric) varices: Managed using glue injection or stent placement
  • Diffuse oozing: Collagen spray used as an adjunct to enhance bleeding control

These approaches are highly effective in emergency and preventive settings.

Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC)

Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) is a non-contact thermal technique used to treat diffuse or recurrent bleeding.

APC is especially effective for:

Angioectasias
Portal hypertensive gastropathy
Radiation-induced gastrointestinal bleeding

It allows controlled coagulation with minimal tissue injury.
