  1. GI Prophylaxis Godwin Tse LA TRAP 2011

  2. What is it for? • Stress ulcer – gastrointestinal mucosal injury related to critical illness  GI bleeding

  3. Pathophysiology[1]

  4. Risk Factors[2][3] • Coagulopathy • Platelet count <50000mm3 • INR>1.5 • PTT>2x normal • Mechanical ventilation > 48 hrs

  5. Prophylaxis[4] • Antacids • Sucralfate • Histamine2 receptor antagonists • Proton pump inhibitors • Enteral feeding

  6. Complications[5] • Nosocomial Pneumonia • Due to elevation of gastric pH • Certain meds may increase risk of VAP

  7. Fun Fact[6]
