The principles of management are the same as for the chronic ulcer. The steps of management are similar as in erosive gastritis. Endoscopic means of treating<unk> ation may be ineffective and operation required. It is believed that shunting of blood away from the mucosa makes the mucous membrane ischaemic and more susceptible to injury. Treatment of<unk> ation usually begins with prevention. Careful attention to respiratory status, acid-base balance, and treatment of other illnesses help prevent the conditions under which<unk> s occur. Patients who develop<unk> s typically do not secrete large quantities of gastric acid; however, acid does appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of the lesions. Thus it is reasonable either to neutralize acid or to inhibit its secretion in patients at high risk. In case of severe hemorrhagic or erosive gastritis and<unk> s, a combination of antacids and H2-blockers may stop active bleeding and prevent re bleeding. In selected patients, either endoscopic therapy or selective infusion of vasopressin into the left gastric artery may help control the hemorrhage.
