Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To observe and access the Effects and safety of terlipressin or high dose somatostatin/octreotide when usual dose somatostatin/octreotide fail to achieve hemostasis in patients with acute variceal bleeding.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The prognosis information of the patients with acute variceal bleeding will be collected, including hemostasis rate, early rebleeding rate, mortality, complications, severity adverse events, economic burdens and quality of life, when terlipressin or high dose somatostatin/octreotide is used as salvation to patients fail to achieve initial hemostasis.The results may help gastroenterologists to make decisions when administering vasoactive medicines to those suffered from acute variceal bleeding.
