Q

**Upper GI bleeding

Oesophageal

  • oesophagitis
  • cancer
  • mallory weiss tear
  • varices

Gastric

  • gastric cancer
  • dielafoy lesion
  • diffuse erosion gastritis
  • gastric ulcer
A

Oesophageal
Oesophagitis= small volume, usually hx of GORD
Cancer = Small volume, associated dysphagia, weightloss, recurrent
Mallory Weis tear = brisk moderate volume bright red blood following repeated vomiting. Malaena rare. Ceases spontaneously.
Varices = Large vol freshblood haemodynamically unstable

Gastric
Gastric cancer = frank hameatemesis or altered blood mixed with vomit. Erosion of major vessel = big bleed
Dieulafoy lesion = No prodromal features prior. Arteriovenous malformaiton produces considerable haemorrhage.
Diffuse erosive = Haemetemesis and epigastric discomfort. usually underlying cause e.g recent NSAID usage. Large volume haemorrhage may occur with haemodynamic comproise
Gastric ulcer: small low volume bleeds more common = fe deficient anaemia.
