Brief summary

A randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of hemostatic forceps and bipolar electrocautery probes in patient with high risk bleeding gastroduodenal ulcers.

Detailed description

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of hemostatic forceps and bipolar electrocautery probes in patients with high-risk bleeding gastroduodenal ulcers. The primary outcome is comparing the hemostatic rates of the devices. Secondary outcomes are rebleeding rate at 7 and 30 days after index intervention, survival rate after intervention, procedure time for achieving hemostasis, number of units of infused blood, duration of hospitalization, and complications.

Interventions

DEVICEHemostatic Forceps

The experimental device will be used for control bleeding in high risk gastroduodenal ulcers.

DEVICEBipolar Electrocautery Probes

The active comparator devices will be used for control bleeding in high risk gastroduodenal ulcers.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparing hemostatic rate between hemostatic forceps and bipolar electrocautery probesDuring esophagogastroduodenoscopyWhen the bleeding stopped for at least 2 minutes, it is defined as successful hemostasis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Survival rate after intervention30 daysPatients who live longer than 30 days after hemostasis will be counted for survival rate.
Procedure time for achieving hemostasisDuring esophagogastroduodenoscopyProcedure time will be counted from the time of device insertion to the time of achieving hemostasis.
Rebleeding rate at 7 days and 30 days after index intervention30 daysAfter primary hemostasis, patients will be follow up at 7 and 30 days for evidence of rebleeding.
Duration of hospitalization30 daysThe length of hospital stay.
Complications of hemostatic interventions30 daysComplications related to intervention include perforation, infection, and organ failure
Number of units of infused blood30 daysNumber of red cell units which are transfused to the patients.
