What are the treatments for gi bleed?

It depends : Gi bleeds can be located in several different places. They can also be of varied intensity from a trace to severe. All of that factors into the plan. Usually a scope can find the site of the bleed. The speed will determine the treatment after site is known. Treatment could be surgical, endoscopic, laser, or medications.

Depends: Usually an endoscopy needs to be performed to stop the bleeding with tools like cautery, epinephrine, and/or clips. If an ulcer is the cause of bleeding, a high dose acid reducer like nexium (esomeprazole) may be used either thru iv or by mouth.
