How to treat upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to liver cirrhosis

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by liver cirrhosis is caused by portal hypertension resulting in rupture and bleeding of esophageal varices at the base of the stomach, which can be treated by drugs such as posterior pituitary hormone to stop bleeding, triple lumen and two-bladder tubes to stop bleeding by compression, and surgical hemostasis and other ways. 1. Drug treatment: extensive fibrosis of liver cells in patients with cirrhosis can cause portal hypertension, which in turn causes rupture and bleeding of esophageal venous plexus, which can be treated with drugs such as posterior pituitary hormone and growth inhibitor for hemostasis. If necessary, transfusion of suspended red blood cells can be used to correct hemorrhagic anemia. 2. Three-lumen and two-capsule tube hemostasis: it belongs to the emergency hemostatic operation for patients with ruptured variceal bleeding of esophagogastric fundus. It includes esophageal balloon, gastric balloon, three-lumen tube and other parts, through the gastric balloon and esophageal balloon after inflating and expanding, compression of hemostatic site, so as to play the role of emergency hemostasis. 3. Surgical treatment: For severe cirrhosis bleeding patients, esophageal variceal vein ligation, sclerotherapy and gastric fundus variceal vein tissue glue injection can be used to stop bleeding. If cirrhosis causes upper gastrointestinal bleeding, it is recommended to consult a doctor immediately for a clear diagnosis and targeted treatment.
