Summary

Emergency endoscopy is crucial for acute peptic ulcer bleeding. Endoscopic therapy effectively reduces re-bleeding and surgery, improving outcomes for high-risk patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Medicine

Background:

  • Acute peptic ulcer hemorrhage presents a significant clinical challenge.
  • Timely diagnosis and intervention are critical for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the role of emergency endoscopy in managing acute peptic ulcer bleeding.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic therapy versus conservative management.
  • To guide subsequent management based on endoscopic findings.

Main Methods:

  • Emergency endoscopy following patient resuscitation.
  • Identification of bleeding stigmata and application of endoscopic therapy.
  • Review of current evidence on medical and endoscopic treatments.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic therapy significantly reduces further bleeding and the need for emergency surgery in high-risk ulcers (active arterial bleeding or nonbleeding visible vessel).
  • Endoscopic therapy also demonstrates a significant decrease in mortality.
  • Injection therapy is a cost-effective and efficient hemostatic method.

Conclusions:

  • Emergency endoscopy is essential for diagnosing and treating acute peptic ulcer bleeding.
  • Endoscopic therapy is highly effective for high-risk bleeding ulcers, improving survival and reducing surgical intervention.
  • A second endoscopic treatment may be considered selectively, balancing benefits against potential delays in surgery.
