Abstract:
Emergency gastroscopy was performed for 146 patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage admitted to Tieying Hospital, Beijing to identify causes of bleeding and establish diagnosis. One hundred and thirty-nine of them were cured with endoscopic treatment, but two failed so to change to surgical operation. It suggested that early gastroscopy is a convenient, easy and safe method in diagnosis and treatment of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
