16 Formal network for embolisation 16

17 NCEPOD conclusions Major bleed should be admitted to hospital with 24/7 access to endoscopy/ir etc Those that do not have 24/7 services should develop FORMAL networks Upper AND lower GI bleeding should be managed by single team Major bleeds discuss with responsible consultant within 1 hour On going management of major GI bleeding managed by said consultant All patients with major GI bleed should have documented rebleed plan

18 Medical management of non variceal upper GI bleed NBM Score Decent access Cross match But don t rush to give IV PPI Refer for endoscopy (timings)

19 Recommendation 1: Risk stratify patient presenting with Upper GI Bleeding Glasgow Blatchford score Full Rockall score post endoscopy (Baylor Score)

20 Glasgow Blatchford Score (GBS): to predict need for intervention or death Lancet 2000 & 2009 Identifying those at low risk (GBS=0): urea < 6.5 mmol/l Hb > 130 g/l men > 120 g/l women systolic BP >110mmHg pulse < 100/min No melaena, syncope, CCF, liver disease

22 Avoid admission in low risk patients? Safe to avoid admission in low risk patients (GBS=0) GBS=0 has 100% sensitivity for intervention/death Accounts for 5-22% all presentations Some studies suggest can extend GBS low risk definition (+/- age component) Superior to admission-rockall in identifying risk Gralenk, Gastrointest Endosc 2004;60:9-14 Chen, Am J Emerg Med. 2007(25); Romagnuola, Arch Intern Med 2007;167: Masaoka, J Gastro Hepatol 2007;22: Stanley, Lancet 2009;373:42-47 Pang, GI Endosc 2010:71: Chan, Front Gastroenterol 2011;2:19-25
