ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking to develop a new, quick, and non-invasive way to diagnose acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB) by analyzing the chemicals in a person's breath. Researchers will study patients who have been confirmed to have AUGIB and divide them into three groups based on the severity of their bleeding: no bleeding, minor bleeding, and major bleeding. The goal is to create a model that can accurately predict the presence and severity of bleeding by examining specific compounds in the breath. This method could help doctors diagnose patients faster, especially in emergency situations where traditional methods may not be as effective.
To participate in the trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old and show signs of AUGIB, such as vomiting blood or having black, tarry stools. Participants will need to fast for 4 hours before the test and provide written consent to take part. However, people with certain medical conditions, recent lung infections, or who are pregnant may not be eligible. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to improve how doctors can quickly and accurately diagnose gastrointestinal bleeding, ultimately helping patients receive the care they need sooner.
