Filter by:A prospective, multi-center, noninferiority randomized controlled trial designed to compare the efficacy of UI-EWD (Nexpowder™) hemostatic powder versus conventional endoscopic hemostatic therapy in patients presenting with acute overt gastrointestinal bleeding which is found at endoscopy to be due to a gastric or duodenal ulcer with active bleeding (spurting or oozing) or a non-bleeding visible vessel.
Guided by clinical problems, this study focused on the problems encountered in clinical practice, with the interventional treatment of emergency gastrointestinal bleeding as the breakthrough point, and focused on the dilemma of treatment selection for patients with negative angiography in gastrointestinal bleeding. At present, there is no report on relevant clinical and basic research on the selection of treatment strategies for patients with negative ANVUGIB angiography. Whether prophylactic arterial embolization can benefit patients and whether it can reduce mortality is an urgent clinical problem to be solved.
Acute Gastrointestinal (GI) Bleeding are a common chief complaint among Emergency Department. The mortality rate for Lower GI Bleeding is 3.9%. While the mortality rate can be as high as 10% for Upper GI Bleeding. Most existing scores take into account hemodynamic parameters such as systolic blood pressure or heart rate. Studies have shown that hemodynamic instability only develops late in the course of a bleed, as evidenced by a blood depletion of 30 to 40% of the total blood volume. Currently, few studies have examined the value of echocardiography in the management of patients presenting for Acute GI Bleeding in the Emergency Department. The main objective of this study is to show whether simple ultrasound parameters can, combined with clinico biological parameters, predict in an early manner the evolution of the patient presenting to the Emergency Department for Acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
