Study Notes
Peptic Ulcer Forrest Classification
- Ia: Characterized by active spurting bleeding, indicating a significant hemorrhagic event requiring urgent intervention.
- Ib: Represents active oozing bleeding; this type of bleeding is still concerning but may be less dramatic than spurting.
- IIa: Non-bleeding ulcers with a visible vessel pose a risk for future hemorrhage; intervention may be necessary to prevent bleeding.
- IIb: These ulcers do not actively bleed but have an adherent clot present, suggesting prior hemorrhage but stable current status.
- IIc: Ulcers with a pigment ulcer base display no active bleeding but indicate prior bleeding; pigmentation can suggest a chronic process.
- III: Clean base ulcers show no signs of recent bleeding and are considered stable, which reduces the immediate concern for ulcer-related complications.
