[Effectiveness of emergency endoscopic sclerosis in the control of digestive hemorrhage caused by gastroduodenal ulcer].
An investigation was made of the effect of emergency endoscopic sclerotherapy on the evaluation of digestive hemorrhage (HDA) secondary to gastroduodenal ulcer disease in two consecutive groups of patients. The control group included 92 patients and the sclerotherapy group contained 63. Both groups had the same management and basic treatment of hemodynamic stabilization, anti-H2 agents and alkaline . The sclerotherapy group also received a local injection of 1/10,000 (5-12 ml) adrenaline and 1% polydocanol (5-12 ml) if direct signs of hemorrhage (active bleeding, red clot, visible vessel) were seen at the time of early endoscopy. Surgery was indicated in the presence of persistent, recurrent or massive digestive hemorrhage. Thirty-two percent of the control group and 34% of the sclerosis group presented direct signs of hemorrhage at the time of endoscopy. Both groups were homogeneous with respect to sex distribution, NSAID intake, hemoglobin, presence of shock and etiology (33.3% and 36.3%, respectively, had duodenal ulcer). The average age was significantly higher in the control group than in the sclerotherapy group. Neither the presence of any endoscopic sign nor etiology contributed to the evolution of digestive bleeding. It is concluded that emergency endoscopic sclerotherapy with injection of adrenaline and polydocanol has a clearly favorable effect on the evolution of bleeding secondary to gastrointestinal ulcer disease evidencing direct signs on endoscopy.
