“…They demonstrated that 3 % H 2 O 2 significantly improved gastroscopic visualization in a few animal and human studies by altering the characteristics of the blood clot rendering the clot less adherent, more translucent and easier to remove. 6 , 7 Wu et al, went on to reaffirm the benefits. Twenty patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding were identified.…”

“…10 Its safety and effectiveness have been confirmed. Kalloo et al 11 and Lennon and Kalloo 12 used hydrogen peroxide in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding and found that it could alter the characteristics of the blood clots. The authors presumed that hydrogen peroxide can enhance clot dissolution and endoscopic visualization in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding.…”

Objective Urinary retention caused by bladder clots can be frustrating because such blood clots are difficult to remove. We established a novel technique in which hydrogen peroxide is applied to evacuate bladder clots. Methods In this single-center retrospective study, we evaluated 31 patients with retention of blood clots in the bladder who underwent emergency evacuation using hydrogen peroxide. Results The patients comprised 17 men and 14 women with mean age of 61.2 years (range, 42–82 years). Hydrogen peroxide solution and a 20-Fr three-cavity Foley catheter with large-diameter side holes were used for manual bladder irrigation in all patients. The bladder blood clots were successfully removed in 27 patients. The remaining four patients could not tolerate the symptoms of urinary retention and had to resort to surgery. Conclusion Hydrogen peroxide solution for manual bladder irrigation can improve the efficiency of bladder blood clot evacuation. This is a simple and effective option for managing bladder clot retention.
