    Summary

    Endoscopic electrocoagulation (EEC) effectively stopped upper gastrointestinal bleeding in most patients. This safe procedure achieved hemostasis in 32 of 50 patients, potentially reducing the need for emergency surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic procedures

    Background:

    • Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a common medical emergency.
    • Effective hemostasis is crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Varied gastroduodenal lesions can cause significant bleeding.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic electrocoagulation (EEC) for upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
    • To determine the success rate of EEC in achieving hemostasis.
    • To assess the potential of EEC to reduce emergency surgical interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • Fifty patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding were enrolled.
    • Endoscopic electrocoagulation was performed as the primary treatment modality.
    • Hemostasis was assessed after the procedure, with a second session offered if needed.

    Main Results:

    • Hemostasis was achieved in 32 out of 50 patients during the initial EEC session.
    • A second EEC session was successful in 2 of the 8 patients requiring it.
    • No complications were reported during or after the endoscopic procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic electrocoagulation is an effective and safe method for managing upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
    • EEC demonstrates a high success rate in achieving hemostasis for various gastroduodenal lesions.
    • This endoscopic technique may offer an alternative to emergency surgery for bleeding patients.
