The Role of Hypertonic Dextrose Spray as Endoscopic Topical Hemostatic Agent for Acute Non-Variceal Upper GI Bleeding

The Role of Hypertonic Dextrose Spray as Endoscopic Topical Hemostatic Agent for Acute Non-Variceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study is conducted to evaluate the effectivity of hypertonic dextrose spray as an endoscopic topical hemostatic agent, compared to conventional agent (adrenaline injection, followed by hemoclip or thermocoagulation), in patients with acute non-variceal upper GI bleeding.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by peptic or duodenal ulcer, polyps, tumors or malignancy
• Patients consented to study participation

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with thrombocytopenia (thrombocyte count <100.000 cells/ul) and other forms of coagulopathy
