Mysuru: Narayana Multispecialty Hospital emerges as a centre of excellence for treating GI Bleeds. It is not uncommon for us to hear of someone having vomited blood in massive volumes. Such incidents are medical emergency cases, as more the blood loss, closer the patient gets to danger.
First and foremost, the patient must promptly be taken to the nearest hospital which has a reputed emergency management unit. Such vomit normally takes place in people who are hypertensive, and who suffer particularly from one form of high blood pressure known as portal hypertension. Portal hypertension, it means pressure exerted by blood — in this case high pressure — on Liver veins which transport blood filtered by the liver and liver’s deoxygenated blood. This blood is normally used by the colon, pancreas, stomach and small intestine.
