[Emergency gastrointestinal endoscopy (author's transl)].

P Deyhle, E Kobler, H J Nüesch

    Langenbecks Archiv Fur Chirurgie
    |November 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Endoscopy precisely diagnoses upper gastrointestinal bleeding sources in nearly all cases. Colonoscopy also accurately locates bleeding lesions in over 90% of patients, enabling simultaneous endoscopic therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic diagnostics
    • Hemorrhage management

    Context:

    • Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (UGIH) presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Colonic bleeding requires precise localization for effective treatment.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopy in identifying sources of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
    • To assess the efficacy of endoscopy in localizing and diagnosing colonic bleeding lesions.

    Summary:

    • Endoscopic examination determines the bleeding site (esophagus, stomach, duodenum) in nearly 100% of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage cases.
    • Endoscopy achieves precise localization and diagnosis of bleeding sources in over 90% of UGIH cases.
    • Colonoscopy successfully localizes and diagnoses bleeding lesions in the colon in over 90% of instances, with potential for simultaneous endoscopic therapy.

    Impact:

    • High diagnostic yield of endoscopy in UGIH facilitates targeted treatment.
    • Endoscopic diagnosis and therapy for colonic bleeding improve patient outcomes.
    • Endoscopy is a critical tool for managing gastrointestinal bleeding effectively.
