What are the Treatment Options for Gastrointestinal Bleeding?
The treatment of GI bleeding depends on the source and severity. Initial management often includes fluid resuscitation and blood transfusions to stabilize the patient. Endoscopic interventions, such as clipping or cauterization, may be used to control active bleeding. Medications like proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 blockers can help reduce stomach acid and promote healing. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary.
