Massive bleeding cause significant risk for myocardial infarction from coronary artery hypoperfusion from hypovolemia.
It is estimated that 16% who had severe gastrointestinal bleeding had ended up with myocardial infarction.
Patients who have myocardial infarction consequent to massive bleeding often do not experience chest pain, or the chest pain may be misinterpreted as epigastric pain

A grossly bloody aspirate in the atraumatic NG
intubation CONFIRMS a UGI Bleed The type of bleed
Red blood - active bleeding Coffee ground - recently active bleeding.
Continued aspiration of red blood - severe, active hemorrhage.
Clears the field for endoscopic visualization Prevent aspiration of gastric content However, lavage may not be positive if bleeding has
ceased or arises beyond a closed pylorus.

Hemodynamic instability despite vigorous resuscitation (>6 units transfusion)
Failure of endoscopy Recurrent hemorrhage
after initial stabilization Shock associated with
recurrent hemorrhage Continued slow bleeding
with a transfusion exceeding 3 units/day
One of the criteria used to determine the need for surgical intervention is the number of units of transfused blood required to resuscitate the patient. The more units required, the higher the mortality rate (Larson, 1986). Operative intervention is indicated once the blood transfusion number reaches more than 5 units, as noted in the following table (Larson, 1986).

Mucosal lacerations at the gastroesophageal junction or in the cardia of the stomach
A/w repeated retching or vomiting and are another important cause of nonvariceal UGIB in Alcoholics
2% to 8% of acute UGIB are secondary to Mallory-Weiss tears
Some cases are self-limited and do not require endoscopic hemostasis
Some cases could be severe enough to require blood transfusions, endoscopic hemostasis, surgery.

Vascular ectasia - Angiomas, AV malformations and Angiodysplasia
Vascular ectasias 5% to 10% of cases and the severity - trivial to severe
Vascular ectasias a/w – Congenital, CRF. The evidence for these associations is limited.
Management is by endoscopic ligation, cauterisation and sclero therapy

Dieulafoy's lesion is a rare etiology in acute UGIB Dieulafoy's lesions are difficult to identify
endoscopically because they often retract. Their histopathologic description is a “caliber-persistent artery” in the submucosal tissue
On endoscopy, a Dieulafoy's lesion is akin to a visible vessel protruding from an ulcer, yet without an underlying ulcer.
Dieulafoy's lesion
