Management of gastro-oesophageal varices.
In common with the management of any gastrointestinal (GI) haemorrhage, the first step in the management of acute variceal bleeding is adequate resuscitation and airway protection to prevent aspiration. Coagulation abnormalities are normally corrected. Early endoscopy (as soon as the patient is haemodynamically stable) is recommended because it not only enables accurate diagnosis but also allow...
متن کاملPrediction of oesophageal varices in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis by non-invasive markers
INTRODUCTION Preliminary data suggested that non-invasive methods could be useful to assess presence of oesophageal varices (OV) in liver cirrhosis. The primary objectives were to investigate non-invasive markers for diagnosing and grading OV in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included a total of 106 consecutive treatment-naive patients with primary bi...
متن کاملExcision of oesophageal varices.
After treating bleeding oesophageal varices for a number of years, mainly by porta caval shunts with oesophageal and gastric transections as a second line of treatment, it was realized that the fact that varices in the intestinal tract are localized could be made use of in their surgical treatment. Bleeding from the rectum in portal hypertension is rare and it never seems to occur from the smal...
متن کاملPressure measurement in oesophageal varices: preliminary report on a new non-invasive method.
Pressure in oesophageal varices has been measured either by using an invasive puncture technique, or a non-invasive pneumatic pressure sensor. Experience with these techniques and their limitations prompted a new way of measuring pressure in oesophageal varices. This was done by observing through a transparent plastic balloon fixed to the tip of a gastroscope the pressure equilibrium between th...
متن کاملNon-invasive detection of gastro-oesophageal reflux using an ambulatory system.
The aim of this study was the separate measurement of reflux of food and acid into the oesophagus in 37 healthy, ambulant subjects. This was performed by radiolabelling the food and monitoring its reflux with a small directional gamma detector, which was placed externally over the oesophagus, and connected to an ambulatory data recorder. The pH was measured with a conventional oesophageal pH el...
