 APC involves the use of a jet of ionized argon gas 
(plasma) that is directed through a probe passed 
through the endoscope. The probe is placed at 
some distance from the bleeding lesion, and 
argon gas is emitted then ionized by a high 
voltage discharge (approx 6kV). High-frequency 
electrical current is then conducted 
through the jet of gas, resulting in coagulation of 
the bleeding lesion on the other end of the jet.
 Persistent hypotension 
 Failure of medical treatment or 
endoscopic homeostasis 
Coexisting condition ( 
perforation, obstruction, 
malignancy) 
Transfusion requirement (4 
units in 24 hr) 
Recurrent hospitalizations
 Endoscopy: 
◦Aspiration pneumonia 
◦ Perforation 
 Complications from coagulation,

PEPTIC 
ULCER 
DISEASE
Peptic ulcer disease is a condition 
characterised by erosion of GI mucosa 
resulting from digestive action of HCL 
acid & pepsin. 
Any portion of the GI tract that comes 
into contact with the gastric secretions 
is susceptible to ulcer development, 
including the lower esophagus, 
stomach , duodenum, & margin of 
gastrojejunal anastomosis after 
surgical procedures.
 Age- peak age for gastric ulcer is 
50-60 yrs & for duodenal ulcers 
35-45 yrs. 
 Sex – gastric ulcer greater in 
women whereas duodenal ulcer 
greater in men & postmenopausal 
women.

LGIB encompasses a wide spectrum of 
symptoms, ranging from trivial hematochezia 
to massive hemorrhage with shock. Acute 
LGIB is defined as bleeding that is of recent 
duration, originates beyond the ligament of 
Treitz, results in instability of vital signs, and 
is associated with signs of anemia with or 
without need for blood transfusion

 Colonoscopy 
 Radionuclide scans: 
 Angiography 
 complete blood cell (CBC) count 
 Serum electrolytes levels 
 Coagulation profile, including activated partial 
thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), 
manual platelet count, and bleeding time 
 Helical CT scanning of the abdomen and pelvis can 
be used when a routine workup fails to determine 
the cause of active GI bleeding.
The management of LGIB has 3 components, as 
follows: 
 Resuscitation and initial assessment 
 Localization of the bleeding site 
 Therapeutic intervention to stop bleeding at 
the site
 Hemicolectomy 
 Colectomy 
 Abdomino-perineal 
resection
 Diverticular bleeding: Colonoscopy with 
bipolar probe coagulation, epinephrine 
injection, or metallic clips 
 Recurrent bleeding: Resection of the affected 
bowel segment 
 Angiodysplasia: Thermal therapy (eg, 
electrocoagulation, argon plasma coagulation) 
 In patients in whom the bleeding site cannot be 
determined, vasoconstrictive agents such as 
vasopressin (Pitressin) can be used. If 
vasopressin is unsuccessful or contraindicated, 
superselective embolization is useful.
 Haemorrhoids are dilated 
haemorrhoidal veins. 
 Haemorrhoids : 
 Haem=blood 
 Rhoos = flowing 
 PILES 
Pila= swelling 
The actual term now a days used 
for this is Haemorrhoidal disease.
 Sex: 
 In hospital based studies Men > women 
 In community based studies men = women 
 Age: 
 Increase with age 
 Socioeconomic status and occupation: 
 > high socioeconomic group 
 > heavy laborer and occupations with prolonged 
sitting or standing
 Venous obstruction: 
 The principal cause of haemorrhoidal disease seems to be the 
congestion and hypertrophy of internal anal cushions. 
 Cushions congest because 
1. They fail to empty rapidly during the act of defecation. 
2. They are abnormally mobile. 
3. They are trapped by tight internal sphicter. 
When the cusions are congested, they bleed and become 
edematous.oedema causes stretching of the tissue and 
finally hypertrophy. 
 Fecal mass in the rectum compress the veins. 
 Straining constricts the intermuscular vein so blocks 
emptying of veins. 
Predisposing fctors of venous obstruction: 
 Raised intra abdominal pressure during 
pregnancy,from ascites or pelvic tumor, or raised 
portal venous pressure with hepatic cirrhosis. 
 Piles of pregnancy: These are not necessorily 
abnormal.
 Prolapse of vascular cushions: 
 Submucosal vascular cushions are supported by 
 Pectin bands(ligaments of park) 
 Muscularis submucosa 
 In normal defecation internal sphicter relaxes and 
there is outward rotation of vascular tissue and 
pectin bands. 
 In haemorrhoidal disease this normal rotation is 
disturbed due to the decrease in elastic tissue 
caused by; 
 Increased Age 
 Constipation 
 Prolonged straining 
 Endocrine reasons

A number of preventative measures are 
recommended, including 
 avoiding straining while attempting to defecate 
 avoiding constipation and diarrhea either by 
eating a high-fiber diet and drinking plenty of fluid 
or by taking fiber supplements 
 getting sufficient exercise. 
 Stop spending less time attempting to defecate

     Diverticular bleeding:Colonoscopy with bipolar probe coagulation, epinephrine injection, or metallic clips  Recurrent bleeding: Resection of the affected bowel segment  Angiodysplasia: Thermal therapy (eg, electrocoagulation, argon plasma coagulation)  In patients in whom the bleeding site cannot be determined, vasoconstrictive agents such as vasopressin (Pitressin) can be used. If vasopressin is unsuccessful or contraindicated, superselective embolization is useful.

     Haemorrhoids aredilated haemorrhoidal veins.  Haemorrhoids :  Haem=blood  Rhoos = flowing  PILES Pila= swelling The actual term now a days used for this is Haemorrhoidal disease.

     Venous obstruction:  The principal cause of haemorrhoidal disease seems to be the congestion and hypertrophy of internal anal cushions.  Cushions congest because 1. They fail to empty rapidly during the act of defecation. 2. They are abnormally mobile. 3. They are trapped by tight internal sphicter. When the cusions are congested, they bleed and become edematous.oedema causes stretching of the tissue and finally hypertrophy.  Fecal mass in the rectum compress the veins.  Straining constricts the intermuscular vein so blocks emptying of veins. Predisposing fctors of venous obstruction:  Raised intra abdominal pressure during pregnancy,from ascites or pelvic tumor, or raised portal venous pressure with hepatic cirrhosis.  Piles of pregnancy: These are not necessorily abnormal.

     Prolapse ofvascular cushions:  Submucosal vascular cushions are supported by  Pectin bands(ligaments of park)  Muscularis submucosa  In normal defecation internal sphicter relaxes and there is outward rotation of vascular tissue and pectin bands.  In haemorrhoidal disease this normal rotation is disturbed due to the decrease in elastic tissue caused by;  Increased Age  Constipation  Prolonged straining  Endocrine reasons

    A number ofpreventative measures are recommended, including  avoiding straining while attempting to defecate  avoiding constipation and diarrhea either by eating a high-fiber diet and drinking plenty of fluid or by taking fiber supplements  getting sufficient exercise.  Stop spending less time attempting to defecate  losing weight for overweight persons  avoiding heavy lifting are also recommended.
