Inter-hospital mobile oesophago-gastro-bulboscopy emergency service
Abstract:
Oesophago-gastro-bulboscopy was performed in 102 cases of acute massive haematemesis and/or melaena in different hospitals or clinics in the town of Pécs, the condition of the patients having been in general incompatible with transport to the endoscopic laboratory. The aetiology of the bleeding was clarified in 90 cases, it remained unidentified in 8 cases, though it was successfully localized. Fibreoptic endoscopy is regarded as an essential tool of early aetiological diagnosis of upper digestive tract bleedings even in centres lacking modern equipment.
