Abstract: | Noradrenaline was administered through the stomach or peritoneum in thirty patients of the Raza Hospital of the I.M.S.S. in an attempt to control severe gastro-intestinal bleeding as described by Dr. H. H. Le Veen. In 84% of the cases this was accomplished with an average elapsed time of 82 minutes. The method proved to be effective of various etiologies except in those cases in which an important size artery was involved. There were no side effects. |
