Emergency endoscopy: A basis for therapeutic decisions in the treatment of severe gastroduodenal bleeding

Abstract: This prospective study compares 3 different consecutive treatment protocols of gastroduodenal hemorrhage. Three hundred sixty-one patients underwent emergency endoscopy as the basis for further treatment. Clinical and endoscopic findings, such as site and type of the bleeding source, bleeding activity and intensity, age, and concomitant diseases of the patient were scored between 0 and 6 points, the higher number indicating a higher risk. The mean values of the total score of the 7 risk factors were comparable… Show more

“…With rebleeding the success of endoscopic haemostatic treatment drops from 90% with the initial bleeding to 50% (16). Most of the ulcers that rebled were localized in the posterior duodenal bulb or high in the lesser curvature of the stomach (32,(64)(65)(66). The failure to achieve permanent haemostasis in these ulcers can be partly explained from technical problems in positioning the endoscope for optimal injection or thermal therapy in these regions (65,66).…”

“…Early elective surgery in patients considered to be at high risk after initial endoscopic hemostasis was shown by Pimpl et al to reduce the overall mortality rate from 11.2 to 7.1%. 42 A recent prospective randomized trial from a group in Hong Kong compared the outcome after endoscopic retreatment with that of surgery for patients who rebled after initial endoscopic hemostasis. 43 Of 92 patients with rebleeding after endoscopic hemostasis, 48 were randomized to receive endoscopic retreatment and 44 to surgery.…”
