Theoretical review of risk factors associated with high digestive hemorrhage in ge-riatric patients
Journal Title: Más Vita - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Acute upper gastrointesti-nal bleeding (HDAA) is the most frequent gastrointestinal emergency. In the elderly, it is associated with higher hospitalization, morbidity and mortality rates than in young people, probably due to the higher preva-lence of multiple comorbidities, such as pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases. Objective: To describe the theoretical foundations of the risk factors associated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Me-thodology: Documentary, descriptive. Results: various studies show that the risk factors associated with upper gas-trointestinal bleeding are, gastroduode-nal peptic ulcer and esophageal varices, serious complications with a high risk of mortality in elderly patients, therefore, it is necessary to act quickly, efficiently and effectiveness. Conclusion: the bibliogra-phy consulted reveals: that despite ad-vances in technology and pharmacology, the overall mortality rate from upper gas-trointestinal bleeding has not improved. This reality is explained by the significant increase in the age of patients who today enter the emergency services with this complication. In HDAA it is essential to try to identify and treat the source of the bleeding, for which early endoscopy is es-sential
