GASTROINTESTINAL ENDOSCOPIC HEMOSTASIS. CLINICAL STUDY
Abstract:
Gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the diseases which often require emergency medical
assistance, both for adults and children. This pathology also requires a well determined diagnosis and
therapeutical strategy. Successful hemostasis is directly dependent on the applied method of treatment.
The patient comfort and the quality of life after the medical care are directly dependent on the method of
hemostasis, mininvasive or not. The hemostasis endoscopic access is effective in the majority of cases.
The procedure success depends on bleeding characteristics, location and its degree of visibility in the
endoscopic placement. We present a prospective study which included patients diagnosed with various
causes of gastrointestinal bleeding and solved by endoscopic hemostasis. The most common method was
the injection one, although the best definitive efficiency has been found by mechanical method (p
0,000**), by band ligation, respectively. In some clinical conditions, the combination of methods
appears to be extremely effective
