Given the possibility of a bleeding peptic ulcer, Protonix IV was immediately started. Because of ***, the patient is at risk for portal hypertension and varices from cirrhosis, so octreotide IV was also started and Ceftriaxone IV also given. Because of ***, the patient will immediately be transfused*** units of PRBC, and admitted for further care and management. The patient does not require any emergent anticoagulation reversal at this time point, although it was considered. Gastroenterology on-call, Dr.*** was consulted and will evaluate the patient for endoscopy. The patient is currently hemodynamically stable, and stable for transfer to the floor at this time. Because the patient's hemoglobin is stable, emergent transfusion was not started; however, the patient will need to be admitted for serial hemoglobin checks, and if downtrending, transfusion may be indicated at a later time. Patient is protecting their airway, no active vomiting, no need for NG tube or intubation at this time. The patient denies any bloody stool and has no pain out of proportion to exam, and no significant risk factors for mesenteric ischemia such as atrial fibrillation or severe PAD/PVD (peripheral arterial / vascular disease), thus definitive workup to rule out mesenteric ischemia was not pursued. The patient has no significant risk factors for AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysm) such as age over 50 with history of hypertension, connective tissue disorder, or 1st degree relative with AAA.
