Administration of High-Dose Intravenous Proton Pump Inhibitor for Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding Prior to Endoscopy

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2004
To evaluate if intravenous PPI infusion, when administered prior to endoscopy, hastens resolution of bleeding stigmata and thereby facilitates endoscopic examinations and reduces the need for endoscopic treatment. Clot stabilization may itself sustain control of bleeding before endoscopy. These may translate into improved patients\'outcome and survival. To determine the therapeutic effect of high-dose PPI infusion in upper gastrointestinal bleeding from causes other than peptic ulcers.
