| Core Tip |
Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in the intensive care unit is a serious, life-threatening condition, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Despite advances in prophylactic strategies and critical care protocols reducing its incidence, GI bleeding remains a major concern, particularly in patients with risk factors such as coagulopathy and renal failure. Enhanced management strategies are crucial, yet the condition is still associated with significant morbidity and mortality, especially in cases complicated by multi-organ failure. The purpose of this compilation of the most recent literature is to review the most up-to-date recommendations and protocols to be followed for the management of a patient with GI bleeding in an intensive care unit. |
