Nonsurgical control of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage in old age patients: intragastric norepinephrine and endoscopic alcoholization of lesions.

Abstract:

:Of 28 consecutive patients over 64 years old, in whom endoscopy revealed gastro-duodenal ulcers with signs of recent hemorrhage (active bleeding, non-bleeding vessel or adherent clot), 14 were randomly assigned to receive endoscopic alcoholization of the lesions preceded by intragastric instillation of norepinephrine, while as controls 14 received antacids. After the applied treatment the bleeding stopped in all cases (100%) in the study group and one patient died (7.1%) after hemostasis was achieved. In the control group bleeding stopped in 12 patients (85.7%). Two patients continued to bleed and needed emergency surgery. Another patient had a major rebleed successfully treated by alcoholization. There were 4 deaths (28%): 2 patients died postoperatively and the other 2 from acute porphyria and bronchopneumonia respectively. The transfusion requirements after the entry into trial were significantly lower in the study group compared to controls (mean no. of blood units 0.79 vs. 1.71). No complications were seen with the treatment applied. These results suggest that endoscopic alcoholization of the lesions preceded by intragastric instillation of norepinephrine is an effective and safe emergency therapy for bleeding from peptic ulcers in old age patients.

  • Heart rate reduction with esmolol is associated with improved arterial elastance in patients with septic shock: a prospective observational study.

    abstract:PURPOSE:Ventricular-arterial (V-A) decoupling decreases myocardial efficiency and is exacerbated by tachycardia that increases static arterial elastance (Ea). We thus investigated the effects of heart rate (HR) reduction on Ea in septic shock patients using the beta-blocker esmolol. We hypothesized that esmolol improve...
