Objective:
To assess the clinical effects of emergency gastroscopies on acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage patients.
Methods:
212 patients with acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhages were randomly divided into an experimental group (n=106) and a control group (n=106). The experimental group underwent emergency gastroscopies, and the control group underwent the traditional treatment. We measured the hemostasis effects, the treatment indexes, and the incidences of adverse reactions to assess the clinical effects. At the same time, we recorded the hemoglobin levels, the rebleeding rates, and the mortality rate to assess the hemostasis effect.
Results:
The hemostasis effect (the total hemostasis effective rate), the treatment index (the hemostasis time, stool occult blood turning negative time, bowel sound recovery time, and the blood transfusion volumes), the hemoglobin levels, the rebleeding rates, and the mortality were better in the EG than they were in the CG (P<0.05).
Conclusions:
Emergency gastroscopy is an effective treatment for acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage patients, because it improves the hemostasis effective rate and the survival rate. Clinical therapy effectively cures the hemorrhages in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhages.
