A 72-year-old male with alcohol-related cirrhosis presents with hematemesis and shock. Learners must: lead resuscitation in a limited resource setting, start evidence-based variceal-bleed adjuncts
Goals and Objectives
Expose learners s to the time-critical resus + team leadership required for UGIB in a patient with liver disease
CRM
- Lead an interprofessional team through a complex resuscitation using role clarity, closed-loop communication, and frequent summaries
- Call for early help and coordinate patient transfer to higher level of care
Medical
- Recognize likely variceal UGIB in cirrhosis and initiate early adjuncts: vasoactive agent + antibiotics + early definitive therapy activation.
- Resuscitate hemorrhagic shock (minimize crystalloid, follow local protocols for blood transfusion).
