Abstract

Peptic ulcers are described as muscularis mucosae-through erosions in the gastric or duodenal mucosa. Increases in the detection and eradication of H. pylori infection, the principal cause of PUD, are probably contributing to the declining incidence and prevalence of PUD. After obtaining approval and clearance from the institutional ethics committee, the patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be enrolled for the study after obtaining informed consent. Current study showed that, out of 64 peptic ulcer disease patients, 15(23.4%) of them were admitted to the hospital with ongoing shock with a Blood Pressure of less than 100 mmHg & Heart Rate of more than 100bpm). While remaining 49(76.6%) of patients had no ongoing shock on admission with stable blood pressure and heart rate. This study showed that, out of 64 peptic ulcer disease patients, 52(81.3%) got admitted to hospital after 24 hours of peptic ulcer perforation while 12(18.8%) got admitted to hospital within 24 hours of the peptic ulcer perforation
