ABSTRACT
Introduction: endoscopy is the most accurate procedure for bleeding etiologic diagnosis whose origin is attributed to the gastrointestinal tract.Objective: share the experience of a working group in performing urgent endoscopy for diagnosis and treatment of patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted from September 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013, in 314 patients who had acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding episodes. They were treated at the endoscopy unit of the Central Military Hospital. Demographic variables were analyzed as well as others related to endoscopy time of completion, endoscopic diagnosis and treatment.
Results: there was a predominance of males (63.7 %); the average age was 61.6 ± 17.8 years. Urgent endoscopy was performed within 24 h (mean: 22.5). Peptic ulcer was the most frequently lesion (44.9 %) found. duodenal localization was most frequent (96 cases, 30.5 %). According to Forrest classification, the most common groups were III and IIc (30 % of cases each) and Ib (14 %). 77 cases underwent endoscopic therapy (24.5 %), 23 (7.3 %) had recurrence. The mortality was 2.2 %.
Conclusions: the early realization of endoscopy achieved initial control of bleeding in all cases treated, so the need for surgical treatment, recurrence and mortality is reduced.
