Background : Globally, gastrointestinal emergency conditions constitute a considerable proportion of the medical emergency cases seen in the emergency room.
Objective : This study investigated the spectrum of gastrointestinal medical emergency conditions seen in the emergency room of Federal Teaching Hospital Ido-Ekiti, Nigeria.
Materials and Methods : The emergency room admission register was used to obtain the following information: Age, Sex, Diagnosis, Year of admission and the Outcome.
The period under review was 1st January 2009 to 31st December 2016.
The data was analyzed using the SPSS version 21.0 software package.
Results : A total number of 5,912 patients with medical emergency conditions were admitted into the emergency room during the period under review, out of which 813(13.7 %) were gastrointestinal medical emergency conditions.
The age range of the patients was 15 to 100years with a mean(±SD) of 47.32±18.938.
Acute exacerbation of acid peptic disorders(29.3 %) was the most common indication for emergency room admission followed by acute gastroenteritis(26.8 %) and decompensated chronic liver disease(14.3 %).
Decompensated chronic liver disease and upper gastrointestinal bleeding were the conditions with the highest mortality being 31.8% and 29.5% respectively.
Conclusion : Gastrointestinal medical conditions are common indications for emergency admission.
Measures should be taken to avoid these preventable conditions in a bid to reduce their morbidity and mortality.
