Evaluation of Prophylactic Endotracheal Intubation

NCT03716466 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 65

Summary

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is defined as patients who either presented with hematemesis or presented with melena along with evidence of hemodynamic compromise. These patients have risk of aspiration of blood along with gastric content. The mortality rate can be 15% to 20% in the cases with variceal bleeding. From a practical standpoint, it is widely accepted that the best way to secure an airway during upper GI bleeding is prophylactic endotracheal intubation (PEI). The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of complications among critically ill patients with upper GI bleeding and received urgent endoscopy.
