2- Day vs. 5- Day Terlipressin and Ceftriaxone in the Control Acute Gastroesophageal Variceal Hemorrhage

Summary

The use of prophylactic antibiotics in cirrhotics with gastrointestinal bleeding has been a routine clinical practice . It is still unknown whether use of short term vasoconstrictors and antibiotics could have superior acute hemostatic rate. Thus, the investigators conducted a trial to compare the effectiveness between participants receiving terlipressin and ceftriaxone 5 days and terlipressin and ceftriaxone 2 days after endoscopic therapy in cirrhotic patients presenting with acute gastro-esophageal variceal hemorrhage..
