Description
Background: Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage (GI Bleeding) Is A Well-Known And Possibly Fatal Abdominal Emergency That Requires Quick Evaluation And Vigorous Emergency Care. Depending On The Position Of The Hospital In The Hierarchy And Its Location, The Range Of Upper GI Bleeding Varies From Region To Region. This Study Aimed To Determine The Common Etiological Factors Of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding Using Upper GI Endoscopy. Methods: This Cross-Sectional Study Was Conducted In The Department Of General Surgery, Prathima Institute Of Medical Sciences, Naganoor, Karimnagar. The History Of Drug Consumption Over The Previous 48 Hours And Frequent Drug Consumption Over The Prior Months Was Asked About, And The History Of Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Renal, And Liver Illnesses Was Carefully Assessed. The Patients Were Then Subjected To Upper GI Endoscopy Using A Fibreoptic Instrument. (Olympus GIF 290). Results: Out Of The Total N=50 Cases N=35 (70%) Were Males And N=15(30%) Were Females. The Male-To-Female Ratio Was Approximately 2.5: 1. Portal Hypertension (PTH) Varices Were The Most Commonly Found Cause For The Upper GI Bleeding In Both Male And Female Sexes, Consisting Of N=17 Cases And N=7 Cases Respectively. Other Causes, Duodenal Ulcers, Erosive Gastritis, And Esophagitis Were Commonly Seen In Males Whereas Mallory Weiss Syndrome Was Found In A Female Patient. Conclusion: Endoscopic Therapy Is A Tested Method For Treating GI Bleeding And May Be An Effective Treatment Option For Some Individuals. An Essential Part Of The Care Of Acute Variceal Bleeding And The Long-Term Treatment Of Patients After A Variceal Bleed Is Endoscopic Therapy With Either Band Ligation Or Injection Sclerotherapy. Overall, The Available Data Show That Band Ligation Has Distinct Advantages Over Sclerotherapy For Variceal Hemorrhage. This Study Emphasizes The Use Of Endoscopy In The Therapy Of All Upper GI Bleeding, Both As A Diagnostic And Therapeutic Tool.
