Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) emergencies and disorders are among the most common reasons to be admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). In addition, critically ill patients admitted to the ICU for non-GI-related diseases are frequently at risk of developing GI complications during their hospitalization. This article details the epidemiology/etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic assessment, and management of the following GI emergencies: upper and lower GI bleed, acute pancreatitis, and ascending cholangitis.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
