Incidence rate: 20.5 patients/ 100000/year

LGI hemorrhage

Etiology
Diverticulosis – 40-55%
Right sided lesions > left
90% stop spontaneously
10% rebleed in

LGI hemorrhage Etiology Diverticulosis – 40-55% Right sided lesions > left 90%
1st year and 25% at 4 years
Angiodysplasia – 3-20%
Most common cause of SB bleeding in >50 y/o
>50% are in right colon
Neoplasia
Typically bleed slowly
Inflammatory conditions
15% of UC patients, 1% of chron’s patients
Radiation, infectious, AIDS rarely
Vascular
Hemorrhoids
>50% have hemorrhoids, but only 2% of bleeding attributed to them
Others

LGI hemorrhage diagnostics

Large caliber NGT on admission
Colonoscopy
Within 12 hours in stable patients

LGI hemorrhage diagnostics Large caliber NGT on admission Colonoscopy Within 12 hours
without large amounts of bleeding
Selective viseral angiography
Need >0.5 ml/min bleeding
40-75% sensitive if bleeding at time of exam
Tagged RBC scan
Can detect bleeding at 0.1 ml/min
85% sensitive if bleeding at time of exam
Not accurate in defining left vs right colon

CONCLUSION
LGIB requires pre op localization to detect the bleeding source ,

CONCLUSION LGIB requires pre op localization to detect the bleeding source ,
including rectoscopy, colonoscopy,angography and nuclear scan.
Interventional treatment by colonoscopy and selective angiographic catheterization and embolization shows good results and low bleeding rates.
If an interventional therapy is not possible, a directed limited colonic or small bowel resection should be considered.
