We concluded that H2O2 is a safe and effective way to clear the visual field, facilitating the localization of the bleeding site during emergency endoscopy for acute UGI bleeding, with only mild side effects. In some cases H2O2 therapy can also induce temporary hemostasis. We recommended the use of hydrogen peroxide to improve endoscopic visualization, especially in cases where an adherent blood clot covers the suspected bleeding site.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
