GI Bleed - Rapid Response Management
1) Ask for en route: Vitals, categorization, volume of blood loss, last known hemoglobin, access
2) Categorize and Stabilize:
• Bleed from above
• Bleed from below
3) Examine the abdomen after assessing ABCs
4) Diagnose with needed intervention (EGD/Colo)
5) Treat the underlying cause with multidisciplinary help!
