What is the treatment for gastric bleeding?

Gastric diseases are generally chronic diseases and rarely acute, so many people don’t care much about them. However, "rarely occurs" does not mean that it does not occur at all. Gastric bleeding is an acute gastric disease. Once an attack occurs, heavy bleeding may cause the patient to fall into coma, shock, or even be life-threatening. After all, gastric bleeding is a disease that can cause death. So, what are the treatments for gastric bleeding?

1. Patients lying flat need to rest in bed immediately after bleeding. It is advisable to lie flat with the lower limbs raised. It is not advisable to put the head down and the feet up to avoid affecting breathing. Stay calm, eliminate the patient's tension, and keep warm.

2 Fasting and no drinking If the patient vomits blood or has black stools, he should stop eating or drinking immediately. Because eating and drinking water will not only aggravate the bleeding of the lesion, but also increase the difficulty of endoscopic examination and treatment after admission to the hospital. After vomiting blood, it is best to let the patient rinse his mouth and spit it out. The water cannot be swallowed. Ice cubes can be melted in the mouth and a cold water bag can be used to apply cold compress to the upper left abdomen.

3. Keeping the airway open is the most important thing in home first aid. Because if the blood vomited by the patient or the gastric contents are inhaled into the respiratory tract, it can easily cause suffocation or aspiration pneumonia, especially in elderly patients with low blood pressure, confusion, and poor general condition. Therefore, when a patient vomits blood, his head should be tilted to one side to avoid aspiration and the oral contents should be cleaned promptly.

If there is someone with gastric bleeding in your family, it is very necessary to learn some emergency methods, which may save the life of your loved one at the critical moment. In addition, if gastric bleeding is to be cured, patients need to pay attention to their diet in the future, and relatives of the patients should also help them control their diet, eating what they should eat and not eating what they should not eat.
