A Multidisciplinary Management Algorithm of Acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Quality Improvement Project
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a common emergency condition requiring immediate medical attention and multidisciplinary team approach. We developed a management algorithm for acute GI bleeding in our hospital. Our preplanned acute GI bleeding protocol significantly facilitated patient management and improved communication between medical providers, patients, and their families. Management algorithm can greatly facilitate patient care and improve outcomes in acute GI bleeding situations. Our approach can serve as a framework for the establishment of similar quality improvement protocols in other institutions.
