Abstract

To date several agents have been used to achieve hemostasis in patients with bleeding peptic ulcers using endoscopic sclerotherapy techniques. In this study, the efficacy of endoscopic local injections of hypertonie saline-epinephrine(HS-E) solution, consisting of 9 volume of 3% sodium chloride and 1 volume of 1: 1000 epinephrine, on the base of the ulcer around bleeding vessel was assessed. During the period between April 1989 and July l992, 127 patients were admitted to the study. Ninety-six of these patients underwent endoscopic treatmeat(endoscopic treatment group), while the other 31 cases received conservative treatment only(conservative treatment group). (continue...)
