TL;DR
The authors' ability to prevent this complication, known to be related to length of hospital stay and severity of underlying illness, suffers deficiencies, but the facility to diagnose it accurately and in many instances to treat it with the use of endoscopy is well established.

Critically ill patients who bleed while in the hospital have similar sources of bleeding and rates of endoscopically directed therapy as patients admitted to hospital with bleeding.

Gastrointestinal bleeding remains an important complication of hospitalization, with a high associated mortality, and current approaches to prevention of this complication are imperfect.

UGIB in NSAID users appears to have a better prognosis as compared to nonusers, and NSAID use does not appear to beassociated with outcome in patients with LGIB.

The incidence of endoscopically proven stress-related ulceration has remained unchanged over the past 4 years in the MICU despite significantly fewer patients receiving pharmacologic stress ulcer prophylaxis therapy.

20 Citations1997Plaisier Pw, van Buuren Hr +1 more
Upper GI endoscopy is a common diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in a surgical ICU and reflux oesophagitis is often found and is clinically important, and Mechanical ventilation is a risk factor for upper GI haemorrhage.

Prognosis of patients with bleeding from oesophageal varices is related to residual liver function and time taken to reach the hospital, and the presence of hepatocellular carcinoma is an additional risk factor.
PubMedIs the incidence of hemorrhagic stress ulceration in surgical critically ill patients affected by modern antacid prophylaxis?
11 Citations1996David Zeltsman, Mark A. Rowland +2 more
Results of this study suggest that modern prophylaxis for HSU did not significantly alter the incidence of stress ulceration in SICU patients.

Several studies support the hypothesis, that medical prophylaxis with beta-blockers is more effective in reducing the rate of first esophageal bleeding in patients with a high risk of hemorrhage, such as the presence of very large varices with red spots.
