Abstract:
A prospective randomized study was performed to study the hemostatic effect of injection therapy with adrenaline 1/10,000 in the treatment of ulcerated peptic bleeding (PUB). 30 patients with PUB were included. The treatment was performed until bleeding stopped, in case of relapse or in risk of relapse, the injection was repeated. Successful rate was 100%. Stable condition (stop bleeding) after the first injection was observed in 16 patients (53.3%). The number needed the second injection were 14 patients (36.6%).There were 3 patients needed the third injection. Dose of adrenalin for each bleeding site: 8.9 +/- 1.2 ml, number of injections: 4.2+/- 1.0 injection (maneuver) time: 21+/- 6.2 minutes. Adrenalin were effective in stop bleeding, but had to reapeat. Using adrenalin is safety and low cost.
