Early diagnosis of recurrent bleeding from the upper part of the digestive tube: problematic aspects and solutions (literature review)

Abstract

Currently, the incidence of gastroduodenal bleeding remains at a consistently high level, with no downward trend. Despite the latest advances in medicine, the mortality rate of patients varies between 10–14 %. The greatest mortality of patients was noted at the height of recurrent bleeding. In the presented article, an analytical study was conducted on the problematic aspects of rapid diagnosis of recurrent bleeding from the upper parts of the digestive tube. Despite the sufficient number of proposed methods for the early diagnosis of recurrent hemorrhage, not many meet the requirements of high detection speed and technical ease of use. At the same time, data on the widespread introduction into clinical practice of any local diagnostic system for rapid diagnosis of recurrent bleeding has not been found.
