Article Abstract

Purpose Of Review: To review new advances in managing nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Recent Findings: Implementation of various scoring systems in combination with video capsule endoscopy assists in stratifying and managing nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. New techniques such as thermocoagulation and hemoclips are useful to treat bleeding.

Summary: The advancement of methods and procedures in managing nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding has decreased mortality of patients presenting with this type of hemorrhage. In this chapter, we will be discussing various scores to stratify nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding and techniques to stop bleeding.

Current guidelines recommend early endoscopy (within 24 hours) for hemodynamically stable patients with suspected nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (NVUGIH). We evaluated the use of a new photometric capsule examination (PCE) for stratification of patients into emergency (within 12 hours) and elective (within 48-96 hours) endoscopy.Patients with suspected NVUGIH were enrolled at four centers and received PCE.

: Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) remains a critical medical-surgical emergency associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare burden worldwide. Despite advances in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, NVUGIB continues to pose complex clinical challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings. : This retrospective observational study analyzed 364 consecutive adult patients diagnosed with NVUGIB and hospitalized at the First Surgical Clinic of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital Craiova between January 2009 and December 2014.

(1) Background: Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) represents an important cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). Several prognostic scores may be useful for assessing mortality and rebleeding risk, with the Glasgow-Blatchford score (GBS) and Rockall score being the most commonly used for non-variceal bleeding. Scores assessing liver failure (MELD and Child) do not reflect bleeding severity.

Background And Study Aims: Endoscopic spray therapy has been shown to be effective and safe in managing upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). We aimed to evaluate safety and efficacy of the novel powder-based Resolv Endoscopic Hemostat System in managing UGIB.

Patients And Methods: This was a single-center, prospective, single-arm study conducted from July 2022 to February 2023.
