Risk Factors for Further Bleeding in Patients Admitted to Intensive Care for Gastro Intestinal Bleeding

Gastro intestinal (GI) bleeding is relatively frequent and may lead to intensive care unit admission. Although a restrictive strategy for red blood cell transfusion is supported by a large randomized controlled trial literature, less is known about the impact of transfusion strategy of other blood components and administration of anti fibrinolytic on clinical outcomes.

This study aims to identify parameters that may be associated with the risk of further bleeding in patients admitted to ICU for GI bleeding.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with Gastro Intestinal Bleeding admitted to either medical or surgical intensive care unit

Exclusion Criteria:

• patients retrieved from another hospital
• age < 18 years consent withdrawal
