21/05/2006 ÿú Endoscopic injection of epinephrine is considered a highly effective and simple hemostatic technique for non-variceal upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding[1-3]. Although the rate of initial hemostasis is high, rebleeding occurs in 6% - 36% of patients[4-7].
Conclusions: Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding is often managed by intravenous proton pump inhibitors and endoscopy with electrocautery or adrenaline injection when a bleeding at the base of an ulcer is found. For lower gastrointestinal haemorrhage, selective mesenteric angiography with embolisation of the bleeding point is an alternative to surgery in critically ill patients.
Adrenaline injection or hemoclip application should be used in bleeding Mallory-Weiss tears, as the safety of thermal methods is not well established. Argon plasma coagulation is the mainstay of endoscopic treatment for superficial lesions such as angiodysplasia and gastric antral vascular ectasia.
13/10/2014 ÿú Once the source of bleeding has been identified, endoscopic therapy reduces rebleeding rate, need for surgery and deaths. Endoscopic therapy consists of an agent to stop the bleeding, which is injected into the bleeding area epinephrine (adrenaline) is the most popular agent. Experts disagree on the need for a second procedure such as bipolar.

For the endoscopic treatment of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, use adrenaline injection combined with one of the following: a mechanical method (such as clips) thermal coagulation fibrin or thrombin. Offer interventional radiology if it is promptly available to patients who re-bleed despite endoscopic treatment.
02/06/2020 ÿú Epinephrine typically markedly reduces or stops bleeding initially, but bleeding may recur ? 20 min after injection if a permanent clot has not already been formed as epinephrine is absorbed and flushed into the circulation and its local effect, therefore, wears off.
15/02/2000 ÿú The most common risk factors associated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding are Helicobacter pylori infection and the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and alcohol. The eradication of H. pylori decreases the rate of rebleeding in peptic ulcer disease with absolute reductions that range from 2.5% to 33% according to different studies[ 2 ].
16/01/2018 ÿú Prolonged use of adrenaline can result in severe metabolic acidosis because of elevated blood concentrations of lactic acid. Adrenaline Injection 1 in 10,000 contains sodium metabisulfite that can cause allergic-type reactions, including anaphylaxis and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes, in certain susceptible individuals.;"
