National Consensus on Management of Non-Variceal Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Bleeding in Indonesia
Abstract: The Indonesian
Society of Gastroenterology has compiled a national consensus guideline for the
management of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB). It is an
endeavor to raise the quality of service for NVUGIB patients associated with
peptic ulcer. The references for developing this consensus include three recent
consensus guidelilnes on the management of NVUGIB and a modification of Delphi
process was done to develop clinical guidelines. The three references are: The
International Consensus Recommendations on the Management of Patients with Non-variceal
Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding (ICON-UGIB), 2010; Asia-Pacific Working Group
consensus on non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, 2011; and Management
of Patients with Ulcer Bleeding, ACG guidelines, 2012.
The consensus is compiled as a reference for Indonesian medical
practitioners all across the country on the management of patients with
non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding associated with peptic ulcer.
However, the technical implementation extremely depends on diagnostic and therapeutical
facilities available in each health care center.
Key words: endoscopy,
bleeding, non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding/NVUGIB, peptic ulcer
