Gastrointestinal Emergencies | Manipal Hospitals Varthur Road

Gastrointestinal emergencies require immediate intervention to prevent severe complications like internal bleeding, infections, organ perforation, or multi-organ failure. Conditions such as gastrointestinal bleeding, bowel obstruction, perforated ulcers, and acute pancreatitis can become life-threatening if left untreated. Severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, persistent nausea, or sudden bloating often indicate a serious underlying issue that demands urgent medical attention. Advanced diagnostic tools like endoscopy, CT scans, and blood tests help determine the cause, guiding effective treatment strategies.

In gastrointestinal bleeding, endoscopic banding, cauterisation, or clipping techniques help stop the bleed and stabilize the patient. Bowel obstructions caused by adhesions, hernias, or tumors may require nasogastric decompression or emergency surgery to restore normal intestinal flow. A perforated ulcer is a medical emergency, as leakage of stomach contents can cause peritonitis and sepsis, demanding immediate surgical repair. At Manipal Hospital, Varthur Road, Bangalore, our emergency teams provide timely and precise interventions to ensure patient outcomes.

Key interventions for gastrointestinal emergencies include:

  • Upper GI Bleeding Control: Endoscopic procedures such as banding or cauterisation to stop internal bleeding

  • Bowel Obstruction Relief: Decompression or surgical intervention to restore intestinal flow

  • Perforated Ulcer Repair: Emergency surgery to prevent peritonitis and sepsis

  • Acute Pancreatitis Management: Intravenous fluids, pain control, and nutritional support to reduce inflammation
