    Author: Dubracić D, Pulanić R, Katicić M, Car D, Georgijević A, Cvitanović B.
    Journal: Acta Med Austriaca; 1993; 20(5):127-30. PubMed ID: 8128828.
    Abstract:
    Despite the use of H2-receptor antagonists for the prevention of stress lesions, 32 (9%) of the 354 wounded treated at the surgical intensive care units presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. 28 (87.5%) patients underwent endoscopic examination. The types of hemorrhage (capillary, venous and arterial bleeding) and the efficacy of hemostasis were analyzed. The bleeding ceased spontaneously in 17 (53.1%) patients, and 3 (9.4%) died in spite of all the endoscopic and surgical procedures undertaken.
