Causes

The Various causes such as Traumatic injuries, ruptured aneurysms, gastrointestinal ulcers, postoperative complications, or vascular malformations.

Risks

Potential risks include incomplete control of bleeding, damage to surrounding tissues, or complications from the procedure such as infection or clotting issues.

ProcedureS

Endovascular Embolisation

Blocking the blood vessel supplying the bleeding site using coils, glue, or particles.

Surgical Haemostasis

Using an endoscope to apply clips, bands, or inject medications to stop gastrointestinal bleeding.

Endoscopic Haemostasis

Using an endoscope to apply clips, bands, or inject medications to stop gastrointestinal bleeding.

Irreversible Electroporation (IRE)

Targeting specific arteries to control bleeding, commonly used in liver or pelvic trauma.

Treatment Options

Blood Transfusions

To replace lost blood and stabilize the patient.

Vasopressor Medications

To raise blood pressure and improve perfusion during severe bleeding.

Surgical Exploration

In cases where the source of bleeding cannot be identified or controlled non-invasively.

post Procedure Recovery

Recovery depends on the severity of the bleeding and the intervention used. Patients often require intensive monitoring in the immediate aftermath. Full recovery can take several days to weeks, depending on the cause.

Success rate

The success rate for controlling bleeding through emergency interventions is high, especially with timely and appropriate intervention. Endovascular techniques, such as embolisation, have success rates of 85% to 95% in controlling hemorrhage.

Will I need a blood transfusion during the procedure?

In many cases, yes, especially if there has been significant blood loss.

How quickly will the procedure be performed?

These procedures are performed as quickly as possible, often within minutes to hours, depending on the urgency.

Can bleeding start again after the procedure?

While rebleeding is possible, it is uncommon with successful intervention. Patients are closely monitored to prevent this.
