Bloody stools caused by gastric bleeding can be said to be a problem that everyone must be vigilant about in life. Because these symptoms have not been effectively treated and controlled, they are a great danger to life and health. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to a comprehensive examination and symptomatic treatment with medication to stop bleeding. 1. Be alert to hidden bleeding in the elderly. Young and middle-aged patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding often have abdominal pain, upper abdominal discomfort, hiccups and other gastrointestinal disorder symptoms before bleeding, and only 19% are asymptomatic. However, due to the insensitivity or slow reaction of the elderly, 39.8% of them have no feeling before upper gastrointestinal bleeding and no signs. Even if there is some discomfort, it cannot be said to be accurate. When the bleeding accumulates to a certain amount and vomiting blood or black stools suddenly occurs, the condition is already very serious. Therefore, we should not ignore the elderly’s mild abdominal discomfort, gastrointestinal symptoms, or even emotional changes such as restlessness and irritability, and we should pay attention to the clues of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. 2. Use some sedatives appropriately. If you have tranquilizers, you can take 2 tablets orally immediately. These drugs can immediately relieve the patient's nervousness, reduce the trouble caused by stress response, and help stop bleeding. 3. Drink cold drinks to cool down and stop bleeding. If there are cold drinks or ice water at about 5°C in the refrigerator, you can drink them slowly and intermittently, 100 to 200 ml each time. If there are no refrigerated drinks, you can put a few pieces of ice or an ice cream in cold boiled water; if there is really no refrigerated drinks, put any frozen food in a plastic bag, put it in a water container, and let the water cool down before drinking. If you have a history of bleeding, it is best to always have Yunnan Baiyao, Panax notoginseng powder, Bletilla striata powder and other medicines at home. Taking them when bleeding occurs will help stop the bleeding. 4. There is no need to absolutely fast. Not eating or drinking will increase stomach acid, and the acidity (pH value) in the stomach can directly affect blood coagulation. When the pH value is 6.4, platelet aggregation can be reduced by 50%; if the pH value drops to 5.4, blood clotting is almost impossible. At this time, eating some soda crackers or other paste-like foods with some baking soda can reduce the acidity in the stomach and help stop bleeding. If your home or neighbors have cyanamide, ranitidine, or famotidine, you can take it. It can stop the secretion of gastric acid and help stop bleeding. 5. In addition, you should avoid rough food to avoid aggravating the rupture of esophageal veins; do not take dilute hydrochloric acid, vinegar or other digestive aids (such as pepsin, pancreatic enzymes, etc.) to avoid deepening the ulcer and making it difficult to stop bleeding; do not apply hot compresses to the abdomen to avoid gastrointestinal congestion and aggravate bleeding. When transferring a patient to the hospital, whether by ambulance or taxi, the patient should be laid flat and the driving should be smooth to avoid bumps, so as not to induce or aggravate shock. Do not forget to bring previous medical records and examination data so that the doctor can make a timely diagnosis and get effective treatment as soon as possible. |
