Full description
This study was performed prospectively, randomly, controlled, double-blind to compare the efficacy of oral sucralfate, alginate and hydrotalcite in patients presenting with emergency department dyspeptic complaints at Pamukkale University Medical Faculty Hospital Emergency Medicine Department.
Patients who were referred to the emergency department with stomach ache or dyspeptic complaints were taken to the study. Treatment medicines were applied according to the randomization scheme of the study patients.
This study was carried out in Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine Emergency Medicine Department during 8 months between 01.03.2016 and 30.10.2016. Approximately 98,000 adult patients / year in the emergency department have a research assistant and / or faculty member who will check the research as a 24-hour primer. This study included 300 cases between 18 and 60 years of age who were admitted to our emergency department with dispeptic complaints, agreed to participate in the study, informed consent, and met inclusion criteria. The criteria for receiving and not receiving work were specified at the beginning of the study.
When appropriate patients were admitted to the study, the patient was taken to the emergency monitoring monitor and monitored once the written consent was obtained. Patients were assigned to one of the study groups according to the study number, according to the randomization scheme prepared by a non-emergency service computer. The numbers for the previously numbered workgroups were kept in unmarked envelopes and the envelope was opened by the study nurse to prepare the study medicine. The study medicines were prepared by an independent person who did not participate in the study or by the responsible work nurse who was at the helpline and was given to the patient by the other nurse. For each group, the drugs prepared in a 10 cc syringe were wrapped around the syringe with a color patch that did not show any similarity. When the medication was given to the patient, the patient's nose was closed and the drug smell was not taken. Patients were observed for 30 minutes in the emergency department and 30-minute VAS (Visual Analog Scale) score 5 and above were given to the patient for rescue treatment.
The information and data of the patients were collected by questionnaire. In the first part of the questionnaire, patients' demographic information address, telephone numbers, medical backgrounds, medications and vital findings were recorded. Detailed physical examinations of all patients were evaluated by emergency physician. Patients diagnosed with dyspepsia other than dyspepsia such as acute coronary syndrome, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, acute abdomen, ileus, malignancy and gastroenteritis were excluded as a result of history and physical examination. Patients who did not give their consent to participate were also excluded from the study. The patient with unexplained dyspepsia was directed to the gastroenterology polyclinic for endoscopy with necessary information. After discharge, patients were asked whether they had recurring epigastric pain within 24 hours.
