Aspirin and NSAID use increase peptic ulcer bleeding. Endoscopic interventions like electrocoagulation and injection therapy effectively reduce rebleeding risk, decreasing the need for high-mortality emergent surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Hemorrhage is a frequent peptic ulcer disease complication, exacerbated by aspirin and NSAID use.
  • Clinical factors like shock and recurrent bleeding elevate mortality risk from ulcer bleeding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify effective therapeutic strategies for managing peptic ulcer bleeding.
  • To reduce the incidence of rebleeding and the need for emergent surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical and endoscopic factors influencing ulcer bleeding mortality.
  • Evaluation of endoscopic interventions for controlling active bleeding and preventing rebleeding.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic interventions, including multipolar electrocoagulation, heater probe thermal coagulation, and injection therapy, are effective in selected patients.

  • These techniques significantly decrease the risk of ulcer rebleeding, particularly in cases with active bleeding or visible vessels.
  • Therapeutic endoscopy reduces the necessity for emergent surgical operations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic interventions are crucial for managing peptic ulcer hemorrhage.
    • Reducing emergent surgery through endoscopy improves patient survival rates due to the high mortality associated with such procedures.
