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..
