Abstract		Gastrointestinal hemorrhage is a frequent problem of emergency medicine and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Urgent endoscopy with different hemostatic procedures and modern supportive treatment in specialised intensive care units have significantly improved the outcome of ehese patients. In the paper the authors present some epidemiological data of patients with gastrointestinal hemorrhage during a 10-year period from General Hospital Maribor. In the observed period, sequelae of ulcer disease were the most significant cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Hemorrhages are frequent in elderly patients who usually have significant medical conditions which increase mortality.
Summary		Akutna krvavitev iz prebavne cevi je čest problem nujne medicine in pomemben vzrok obolevnosti in umrljivosti. Nujna endoskopija z različnimi oblikami hemostaze ter sodobno podporno zdravljenje v enotah intenzivne medicine je pomembno izboljšalo prognozo teh bolnikov. V prispevku avtorji predstavijo nekatere epidemiološke podaeke o bolnikih s krvavitvami iz prebavne cevi v deseeletnem obdobju v Splošni bolnišnici Maribor. V predstavljenem obdobju so bili zapleti peptične razjede najpogostejši vzrok krvavitev iz prebavne cevi. Krvavitve iz prebavil so pogoste pri starejših bolnikih s pridruženimi obolenji, ki neugodno vplivajo na uspešnost zdravljenja in povečajo smrtnost teh bolnikov.
