Bleeding peptic ulcers cause half of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhages. Urgent endoscopy and endoscopic therapy, guided by Forrest criteria, improve outcomes for this common emergency.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhages are a frequent medical emergency.
  • Bleeding peptic ulcers account for approximately 50% of these events.
  • Helicobacter pylori infection and NSAID use are key pathogenic factors.

Purpose:

  • To outline the urgent management of bleeding peptic ulcers.
  • To detail the role of endoscopy and endoscopic therapy based on Forrest criteria.
  • To discuss prognostic factors influencing patient outcomes.

Summary:

  • Urgent endoscopy is indicated for hemodynamic instability or falling hemoglobin.
  • Local endoscopic therapies (injection, thermal, mechanical) are effective for bleeding peptic ulcers.
  • Prognosis is influenced by endoscopic findings, patient age, and comorbidities.
