  • Title: [A propos of 210 emergency endoscopies in upper digestive hemorrhage].
    Author: Weill JP, Monath C, Kerschen A, Meknini B, Simler M, Baumann R.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1975 Apr 20; 51(19):1267-73. PubMed ID: 176729.
    Abstract:
    The authors report their experience of 210 fiber endoscopies carried out as an emergency for upper digestive hemorrhage. They emphasize the necessity of early examination and only consider here examinations carried out within 12 hours from the start of the hemorrhage. In 91.4 % of cases, a correct diagnosis was possible. More than 20% of the patients had at least two lesions liable to cause hemorrhage. In cirrhosis, esophageal varices were the cause of hemorrhage in only 50% of cases.
