Upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage (UGH) after heart surgery is rare but serious. This study found UGH occurred in 0.6% of patients, often linked to poor postoperative hemodynamics, despite antiacid prophylaxis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Context:

  • Upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage (UGH) following cardiac surgery presents a rare but significant clinical challenge.
  • High mortality rates associated with UGH post-cardiac procedures necessitate further investigation into its incidence and outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To determine the frequency and clinical outcomes of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage (UGH) in patients undergoing open heart surgery.
  • To analyze the causes, management, and mortality associated with UGH in this specific patient population.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study of 1278 cardiac operations revealed an incidence of 0.6% for UGH.
  • Gastro-duodenal ulcers were the primary cause (62%), with most cases managed medically (72%), though 25% required surgery.

  • One patient died due to severe sepsis and multiple organ failure secondary to UGH.

    • Impact:

    • Despite antiacid prophylaxis, UGH remains a complication with a poor prognosis.
    • Postoperative hemodynamic instability appears to be a critical factor in the occurrence of UGH.
    • Findings highlight the need for vigilant monitoring and management strategies for UGH in cardiac surgery patients.
