To investigate the value of emergency gastroscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with cirrhosis complicated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

The clinical data and endoscopic findings of patients with cirrhosis with upper gastrointestinal bleeding from January 2019 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.

A total of 2 766 patients were enrolled in the study. No bleeding site was observed in 588 cases. Among the rest 2 178 cases, 1 256 cases were diagnosed with EGVB (57.67%), and 1 183 cases were treated with sclerosis, ligation and tissue adhesive embolization, and effective rate was 96.79%(1 145/1 183).

Emergency gastroscopy is an effective treatment for cirrhosis with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. After actively improving the general condition and the condition is stable, emergency gastroscopy should be performed as soon as possible, which can quickly clarify the cause and control the bleeding, and obtain good efficacy, which should be promoted in clinical practice.
