The Application of Hemospray in Gastrointestinal Bleeding during Emergency Endoscopy

Table 1

Patient characteristics and frequency distribution of the treatment indications. In several patients suffering from upper GI bleeding, more than one endoscopy involving hemostatic measures and the application of Hemospray was necessary. Hence, we recorded more examinations involving interventional measures than patients. Merely second look endoscopies without further necessary interventions have not been calculated here.
