Manage meds to treat GI bleeding before, after endoscopy
Care of inpatients with GI bleeding is complicated and multidisciplinary, but hospitalists can contribute by starting and stopping the right drugs, according to conference coverage from Internal Medicine Meeting 2022.
A top story in ACP Hospitalist, published on May 18, reviewed the care of the inpatient with GI bleeding.
Gastroenterologist Linda A. Lee, MD, FACP, also a member of ACP Gastroenterology Monthly's editorial advisory board, reviewed the key medications to start and stop before and after endoscopy in patients hospitalized with upper or lower GI bleeding during Internal Medicine Meeting 2022, held in April in Chicago.
