[Hemostasis in acute gastrointestinal bleeding]. 2010

V M Timerbulatov, and Sh V Timerbulatov, and R B Sagitov

Retrospective analysis of treatment results was carried out in patients with acute bleedings from upper digestive tract according to efficacy evaluation of hemostatic methods. All methods of hemostasis were divided into 7 groups: resectional, local treatment of the bleeding source with or without vagotomy, angiosurgical, local surgical hemostasis, hemostasis along the length, endoscopic hemostasis and conservative modes. Indications for hemostatic methods were estimated depending on severity, intensity, character of the bleeding basing on the J. Forrest classification and severity of patient's condition (severity of blood loss). Prophylactic measures for prevention of recurrent bleedings after primary hemostasis are proposed. Differential approach to hemostasis in acute gastrointestinal bleedings allows achieving 96-97% efficacy.

D012189	Retrospective Studies	Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D014628	Vagotomy	The interruption or removal of any part of the vagus (10th cranial) nerve. Vagotomy may be performed for research or for therapeutic purposes.	Vagotomies
D016558	Hemostasis, Endoscopic	Control of bleeding performed through the channel of the endoscope. Techniques include use of lasers, heater probes, bipolar electrocoagulation, and local injection. Endoscopic hemostasis is commonly used to treat bleeding esophageal and gastrointestinal varices and ulcers.	Endoscopic Hemostasis,Endoscopic Hemostases,Hemostases, Endoscopic
