Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Detection rate of exposed vessels and bleeding points using U shaped inverted overtube which in left lateral position, it is difficult to stop the bleeding due to the presence of blood clots and food residue especially in upper body and fornix of the stomach | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Procedure time of hemostasis, success rate of hemostasis, rebleeding and visual analogue score of maneuverability of U shaped overtube related to exposed vessels and bleeding points using U shaped inverted overtube which in left lateral position, it is difficult to stop the bleeding due to the presence of blood clots and food residue especially in upper body and fornix of the stomach | — |
