Stress ulcers are mucosal erosions which primarily occur in the
stomach, but can also be found in the distal esophagus or duodenum.
They can develop within hours of a trauma or the onset of a critical
illness. Critically ill patients who bleed from these lesions have a
five-fold increase in mortality compared with patients who do not
bleed. Discussion about prophylaxis of stress ulceration in intensive
care unit patients has been posted on:
