[Use of pirenzepine in prevention of stress ulcers in high-risk surgical patients].

Abstract
In an endoscopic controlled trial the effectiveness of pirenzepine in preventing stress ulcer in high risk patients for surgical operation was studied. 40 patients of both sexes aged between 19-72 were at random distributed to pirenzepine treatment (10 mg e.v./8 hours, starting the day before surgery to 10th day after it), or to "void" period (without specific therapy). Endoscopic findings was performed before and after treatment and every patient was daily monitored for: dyspepsia, defecation, residual intragastric volume, intestinal peristalsis, beginning oral food intake, haemodynamic and metabolic parameters. The results obtained showed the gastric and duodenal cyto-protective effect and the better post-operative clinical course, when pirenzepine was administered by parenteral infusion.
