Outcomes of On-Site Emergency Endoscopy in Non-Transportable Patients with Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Emergency endoscopy plays a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, particularly in non-transportable patients who are too unstable for transfer to an endoscopy suite. As the demand for bedside or on-site endoscopy rises, it becomes essential to understand its outcomes, benefits, and limitations — especially in critical care settings.

The upcoming 15th World Endoscopy and GI Conference, scheduled from December 17–19, 2025, in Dubai, UAE & Virtually, provides an excellent platform to explore these clinical outcomes and discuss evolving best practices.

The Need for On-Site Emergency Endoscopy

Non-transportable patients — often in intensive care units (ICUs) or post-surgical recovery — pose a challenge when they present with acute GI bleeding. Traditional transfer to an endoscopy unit can increase risk and delay urgent intervention.

On-site emergency endoscopy offers a life-saving alternative, allowing for immediate diagnosis and potentially therapeutic action directly at the bedside. However, this approach requires specialized equipment, trained personnel, and a clear clinical protocol to ensure safety and efficacy.

Clinical Outcomes: What Recent Studies Show

Recent data presented at leading GI forums reveal that bedside endoscopy can yield high success rates in identifying bleeding sources, reducing re-bleeding incidents, and improving short-term survival. Studies have shown:

·         High diagnostic yield (up to 90%) in upper GI bleeding

·         Reduced time to endoscopic intervention

·         Improved hemodynamic stabilization post-procedure

However, outcomes depend heavily on factors like timing of the procedure, operator expertise, patient comorbidities, and hospital resources.
