Controlled neutralisation of gastric acid in cases of hemorrhagic gastritis

ABSTRACT

In this study a simple and safe method of non-surgical treatment for the control of massive acute gastric mucosal haemorrhage was used. This procedure was based on the hypsiological concept that the presence of gastric HCL plays an important role in the development of this syndrome. The results showed that the bleeding, in 25 out of 32 cases could be controlled [78%]. The technique has been described. This is a preliminary report but this procedure deserves further trials to establish its effectiveness in controlling massive gastric mucosal haemorrhage
