Metoclopramide for Acute Upper GI Bleeding
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The presence of blood clot in stomach limited quality of endoscopic view ,which affect successful rate of hemostatic endoscopy in patient with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy of metoclopramide, as pro-kinetic agent ,for gastric visualization in the patient with acute UGIB; double-blind randomized controlled trial and two centers study. The patient were randomly assigned to receive either metoclopramide (10mg) intravenously or placebo before endoscopy 30-120 min. The primary endpoint was endoscopic yield, assessed by objective gastric visualized scoring systems. Secondary end points include duration of endoscope, technical success rate, the need for second-look EGD, units of blood transfusion, length of hospital stay and 30-day rebleeding rate.
