[Therapy in nonvaricose upper digestive hemorrhages].
In the Central Endoscopy Service of the "San Carlos" University Hospital 218 therapeutic endoscopy procedures have been performed during 1988-1989 in patients with non-variceal upper digestive hemorrhage. Ages of patients were between 6 and 95. Bleeding was more frequent in men over 50. The majority of procedures were done in the first 12 hours (48%), Type IIa Forrest lesions were identified in 57% of cases and gastric and duodenal locations were about the same. Melena was seen in 40%, hematemesis in 28% and both in 32% of patients. In 53% adrenalin and absolute alcohol were injected and in 24% BICAP techniques, in the remaining patients combined procedures were used. Procedures were successful in 93% of cases. No complications were recorded.
