- Signs of hypovolemic shock, such as rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, and dizziness, indicating significant blood loss.
- Bleeding associated with conditions like peptic ulcers, esophageal varices, diverticulosis, or tumors.
How to prepare
- Immediate assessment of vital signs and establishment of intravenous (IV) access for fluid resuscitation.
- Blood tests including complete blood count (CBC), coagulation profile, and cross-matching for potential transfusion.
- Patient history review focusing on medication use (especially blood thinners), past bleeding episodes, and existing medical conditions.
- For planned diagnostic procedures like endoscopy, fasting for 6-8 hours may be required.
- Informed consent process explaining the diagnostic and potential therapeutic steps to be taken.
Risks & possible complications
- Progression to hypovolemic shock, multi-organ failure, or death if bleeding is not controlled promptly.
- Complications from procedures like endoscopy, including perforation, infection, or adverse reaction to sedation.
- Risks associated with blood transfusions, such as allergic reactions, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), or infection.
- Recurrence of bleeding from the same or a new site.
