Abstract
Introduction: The diagnostic and therapeutic capacity of the endoscopy in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGB) is limited by the presence of clots. Different suggesting studies have published that the previous administration of a bolus of intravenous erythromycin improves stomach cleansing before endoscopy. There is not any work that compares the nasogastric tube lavages with the infusion of erythromycin prior to the endoscopy. Aim: determining if the quality of vision of the urgent endoscopy in patients with UGB after administering intravenous erythromycin is comparable to the one obtained with gastric lavages by nasogastric tube.
