Which of the following medications have been shown to be useful to improve endoscopic visibility when treating a patient with significant non-variceal upper GI bleeding?
A. IV omeprazole
B. IV vasopressin
C. IV erythromycin
D. IV octreotide
IV erythromycin has been shown to be a useful adjunctive measure in several studies to clear out blood from the stomach. There have now been several randomized studies that have shown an advantage to IV erythromycin 250 mg IV 3 hours given before endoscopy to improve visibility of the stomach in patients with significant non-variceal bleeding.
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
