[Use of vasopressin in the treatment of acute hemorrhagic lesions of the stomach. Our experience].
Since bleeding from acute lesions of the gastric mucosa can cease spontaneously and the mortality rate of emergency surgery is high, conservative treatment is always preferable. Satisfactory results were obtained with continuous infusions of vasopressin in low doses (0.2 U/kg/hr for 8 hours) so that this treatment appears a valid alternative to more recent techniques (somatostatin).
