Question
Mr. B is a 57-year-old man who was admitted yesterday after starting to pass black stools. He has a two-day history of severe stomach pains and has suffered on and off with indigestion for some months. He is a life-long smoker, with mild chronic heart failure (CHF) for which he has been taking enalapril 5 mg twice daily for 2 years. He also recently started taking naproxen 500 mg twice daily for arthritis. He works a stressful job and drinks large amounts of caffeinated coffee daily. Yesterday his hemoglobin was reported as 9.3 g/dL, hematoocrit 30%, RBC's 3.2, platelets 162, INR 1.1 with Liver Function Test normal. He was mildly tachycardic (110 bpm) and had a slightly low blood pressure of 100/77 mmHg and was given 1.5 L of saline.
He has just returned from an endoscopy this morning and has been newly diagnosed as having a bleeding duodenal ulcer. They took a biopsy to determine if he is positive for H-pylori. He has been written up for his usual medication for tomorrow if he is eating and drinking again.
