title: [Effects of pirenzepin on the course of acute gastric stress lesions (author's transl)].
abstract: Twenty-two severely ill patients with multiple injuries and sepsis were treated with IV pirenzepin or placebo 3 x 10 mg per day in the frame of the double-blind study. All the patients were examined three times with endoscopy during the 14-day observation period. In 100% of cases without prophylactic treatment, stress lesions were observed, 60% of these cases had bleeding. A prophylactic IV pirenzepin application had an unmistakable protective effect regarding the stress bleeding, number and degree of stress lesions.
