Factors Associated with Failure of Endoscopic Injection Haemostasis in Bleeding Peptic Ulcers

Abstract

Background: The effectiveness of a submucosal injection of adrenaline solution in endoscopic haemostasis is well documented in patients suffering from peptic ulcer bleeding. After treatment, however, a significant number of patients continue to bleed or rebleed, and require emergency surgical intervention. The aim of this study was to define factors associated with the failure of endoscopic injection haemostatic therapy in peptic ulcer bleeding. Methods:

• Adrenaline Injection Endoscopic Haemostasis Failure Peptic Ulcer Bleeding
