Although the incidence of gastrointestinal hemorrhage after cardiac surgery is low, the mortality rate is high. Early detection and diagnosis of gastrointestinal hemorrhage are difficult. The high risk phases including preoperation, intraoperation and postoperation. Preoperative high risk comorbidities include gastrointestinal ulcer, hypertension, coronary heart disease and chronic renal failure. Intraoperative high risk factors include decreased gastrointestinal blood perfusion due to cardiopulmonary bypass, inflammatory factors releasing, coagulation disorders, and thrombosis. Postoperative high risk factors include hypotension, low cardiac output, prolonged mechanical ventilation, etc. This article retrospectively summarized high-risk factors and pathogenesis of gastrointestinal hemorrhage after cardiac surgery, in order to improve prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the detection and localization of obscure lower gastrointestinal bleeding by using SPECT/CT and intraoperative endoscopy. Methods Twenty-six cases of patients with obscure lower gastrointestinal bleeding were analyzed retrospectively. Results The positive detection rate of SPECT/CT was 88.5%. All 26 patients (100%) were identified the bleeding source by using intraoperative endoscopy. No recurrence was found during 1-24 months follow-up. Conclusion SPECT/CT examination should be chosen firstly for patients with obscure lower gastrointestinal bleeding in order to localize the bleeding site roughly. Intraoperative endoscopy can localize the bleeding site accurately in patients who undergoes operation.
Objective To perform a systematic review on the safety (i.g. cardiovascular, mortality and gastrointestinal bleeding) of clopidogrel versus clopidogrel combined with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for the patients with coronary heart disease. Methods Such databases as The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, SSCI, VIP, CNKI, and CBM were searched from the date of their establishment to September 2010. The bibliographies of the retrieved articles were also checked. The data was extracted and evaluated by two reviewers independently. The RevMan 5.0 software was used for meta-analyses. Results A total of 29 studies were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that the use of clopidogrel combined with PPIs was associated with increasing the risk of cardiovascular events (RR=1.27, 95%CI 1.09 to 1.47), as well as myocardial infarction (RR=1.45, 95% CI 1.20 to 1.76), total mortality (RR=1.23, 95%CI 1.06 to 1.43), and rethrombosis (RR=1.37, 95%CI 1.01 to 1.86). However, there was no enough evidence to reach the conclusion that the combination use could benefit the situation of gastrointestinal bleeding (RR=0.84, 95%CI 0.47 to 1.50). Conclusion?Compared with clopidogrel, the combination use of clopidogrel and PPIs increases cardiovascular events, mortality, and the risks of myocardial infarction and rethrombosis. However, more clinical studies are required to assess the effect of reducing gastrointestinal bleeding.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) in patients with type A aortic dissection, and further discuss its prevention and treatment. Methods The clinical data of patients with type A aortic dissection admitted to the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from 2017 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into a GIB group and a non-GIB group based on the presence of GIB after surgery. The variables with statistical differences between two groups in univariate analysis were included into a multivariate logistic regression model to analyze the risk factors for postoperative GIB in patients with type A aortic dissection. Results There were 18 patients in the GIB group including 12 males and 6 females, aged 60.11±10.63 years, while 511 patients in the non-GIB group including 384 males and 127 females, aged 49.81±12.88 years. In the univariate analysis, there were statistical differences in age, preoperative percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2)<95%, intraoperative circulatory arrest time, postoperative low cardiac output syndrome, ventilator withdrawal time>72 hours, postoperative FiO2≥50%, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) rate, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) rate, infection rate, length of hospital stay and ICU stay, and in-hospital mortality (all P<0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, preoperative SpO2<95% (OR=10.845, 95%CI 2.038-57.703), ventilator withdrawal time>72 hours (OR=0.004, 95%CI 0.001-0.016), CRRT (OR=6.822, 95%CI 1.778-26.171) were risk factors for postoperative GIB in patients (P≤0.005). In the intra-group analysis of GIB, non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) accounted for 38.9% (7/18) and was the main disease type for postoperative GIB in patients with type A aortic dissection. Conclusion In addition to patients with entrapment involving the superior mesenteric artery who are prone to postoperative GIB, preoperative SpO2<95%, ventilator withdrawal time>72 hours, and CRRT are independent risk factors for postoperative GIB in patients with type A aortic dissection. NOMI is a major disease category for GIB, and timely diagnosis and aggressive treatment are effective ways to reduce mortality. Awareness of its risk factors and treatment are also ways to reduce its incidence.
目的:探索上消化道出血患者焦虑发生情况和相关因素分析。方法:采用问卷调查法对70 例上消化道出血患者发生情况进行研究,分析焦虑发生与患者性别、年龄、文化程度、医疗费用支付方式、出血次数、临床症状、疾病了解程度及合并疾病的相关性。结果:上消化道出血患者焦虑发生率为58.6 %。女性患者焦虑发生率明显高于男性患者,出血量多的患者焦虑发生率明显高于出血量少的患者,出血次数、有无合并症与焦虑有明显相关性。结论:正确认识焦虑是开展负性情绪干预的前提,针对上消化道出血患者焦虑发生相关因素,积极开展心理疏导,是保障手术顺利进行的重要环节。
Objective To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of China-made omeprazole in treating acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Methods Such databases as PubMed, MEDLINE, Springer, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, CBM and WanFang data were searched to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about China-made omeprazole in treating acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and the references of included studies were also retrieved. The retrieval time was from inception to December 2012. Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and assessed the quality, and then the meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 11 RCTs were included. Among all 1 075 patients, 544 were in the treatment group, while the other 531 were in the control group. The results of meta-analysis showed that, there were no significant differences in the total effective rate (OR=0.68, 95%CI 0.35 to 1.33, P=0.26) and safety (RR=1.33, 95%CI 0.45 to 3.91, P=0.96) between the China-made omeprazole and imported omeprazole. Conclusion China-made omeprazole is effective and safe in treating acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding in comparison with the imported omeprazole.
