Abstrakt: The objective of this study was to describe the COVID-19 intensive care unit population and analyze the characteristics and outcomes of gastrointestinal bleeding patients. An observational prospective study design was used following the STROBE checklist. All patients admitted between February and April 2020 to the intensive care unit were included. Main outcome measures were first bleeding event timing, sociodemographic and clinical data before admission, and gastrointestinal symptoms. A total of 116 COVID-19 patients were included; 16 (13.8%) developed gastrointestinal bleeding, 15 were males (93.7%), and the median age was 65.64 ± 7.33 years. All 16 patients were mechanically ventilated, one (6.3%) already had gastrointestinal symptoms, 13 (81.3%) had at least one concomitant disease, and six (37.5%) died. Bleeding episodes occurred on a mean of 16.9 ± 9.5 days after admission. Nine cases (56.3%) had effects on their hemodynamics, hemoglobin levels, or transfusion requirements; six (37.5%) required diagnostic imaging; and two (12.5%) underwent endoscopy procedures. The Mann-Whitney test showed statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients concerning comorbidities. Gastrointestinal bleeding can occur in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Having a solid tumor or chronic liver disease seems to increase that risk. Nurses caring for COVID-19 patients are urged to individualize patients at higher risk in order to improve safety.
