PPI Infusion Versus Oral Acid Pump Inhibitors for Bleeding Peptic Ulcers

Inclusion Criteria: * \- Patients aged ≥18 years who had undergone oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) for sign and symptoms of aneamia or upper GI bleeding including haematochezia, melaena or haematemesis, and found to a non-variceal upper GI cause of bleeding (peptic ulcers, dieulafoy's lesions, Mallory Weiss tear with active bleeding or major stigmata of haemorrhage * Major stigmata of recent haemorrhage includes peptic ulcers with spurting or oozing bleeding (Forrest classification Ia and Ib, respectively) ,with a nonbleeding visible vessel (Forrest classification IIa) or an adherent clot (Forrest classification IIb). For peptic ulcers with an adherent clot (Forrest classification IIb), the clot would be lifted (by irrigation using syringe boluses or water pump device, or manipulation with a snare or alligator etc.) and ulcer base examined to look for underlying vessels. Once the clot is removed, any identified underlying active bleeding or nonbleeding visible vessel should receive endoscopic haemostasis * Patients who had undergone endoscopic hemostatic treatment (a combination of hemoclipping therapy or contact thermocoagulation using multipolar/bipolar electrocautery probes or haemostatic forceps, with or without preinjection of diluted epinephrine. Endoscopic haemostasis is defined as no evidence of bleeding after irrigation and 3 minutes of observation Exclusion Criteria: * No consent * Patients under the age of 18 * Patients who were pregnant or in lactation * Hype…
