Abstract:In order to explore the application value of the suction connecting tube combined with gastroscopy visual blood clot removal device in the blood clot removal surgery of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, the clinical data of 18 patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding treated with this device at the Department of Gastroenterology, General Hospital of Central Theater Command from January 2023 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed to observe its therapeutic effect. The results showed that the operation time of the device for 18 patients ranged 4-16 minutes (8.2±3.1 min). The total volume of blood clots and blood cleared ranged 120-500 mL (221.1±97.1 mL). Blood and blood clots were successfully removed in a single procedure in 17 patients, with a success rate of 94.4%. Hemostasis was unsuccessful in 1 patient with gastric cancer and bleeding under endoscopy, and subsequent surgical treatment was performed. No serious complication occurred. The suction connecting tube combined with gastroscopy visual blood clot removal device can effectively remove blood clots and blood in the digestive tract, with improved vision and higher success rate. It demonstrates high clinical value, which is worth promotion and application.
