Study Arms (5)
High Dose Somatostatin/Octreotide
continuous IV infusion of 500μg/h of Somatostatin or continuous IV infusion of 50μg/h of Octreotide when usual somatostatin or Octreotide dose fails to achieve hemostasis of acute variceal bleeding patients
Terlipressin as salvage
an initial injection of 2mg of Terlipressin followed by an injection of 1mg of Terlipressin per 6h when usual somatostatin or Octreotide dose fails to achieve hemostasis of acute variceal bleeding patients
Terlipr+usual dose somato/Octreo
an initial injection of 2mg of Terlipressin followed by an injection of 1mg of Terlipressin per 6h together with continuous IV infusion of 250μg/h of Somatostatin or continuous IV infusion of 25μg/h of Octreotide when usual somatostatin or Octreotide dose fails to achieve hemostasis of acute variceal bleeding patients
Control:Usual Dose Somato/Octreo
Hemostasis achieved by continuous IV infusion of 250μg/h of Somatostatin or continuous IV infusion of 25μg/h of Octreotide
Control: Initial Terlipressin
Hemostasis achieved by an initial injection of 2mg of Terlipressin followed by an injection of 1mg of Terlipressin per 6h

Eligibility Criteria
Cirrohsis patients with acute variceal bleeding
You may qualify if:
- Cirrhosis patients admitted to Emergency Department because of acute variceal bleeding
You may not qualify if:
- No signs of variceal bleeding are found by endoscopy or portal hypertensive gastropathy is responsible for the bleeding
- Patients undergo endoscopy after 72h from the beginning of acute variceal bleeding
- Patients with hepatorenal syndrome
- Patients with ischemia organic cardiopathy (including myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris) or myocardial ischemia indicated by ECG in the past 6 months
- Patients allergic to/with contraindications of vasoactive drugs
