24小時胃內酸度監測評價多種抑酸劑靜脈
使用對十二指腸潰瘍患者的抑酸效果
鐘碧慧 袁育紅 陳 湖 林金坤 胡品津
【摘要】 目的 對比各種常用抑酸劑對十二指腸潰瘍出血患者胃酸的抑制效果。方法 運用隨機、開放的方法分析50例十二脂腸潰瘍出血患者,分別使用奧美拉唑靜脈滴注、法莫替丁靜脈注射、雷尼替丁靜脈注射、西咪替丁靜脈注射或滴注。持續監測患者24小時胃內pH動態變化的情況、不同胃內pH值持續時間的百分率、24小時平均胃內pH和中位pH值。結果 只有奧美拉唑80mg/天組可達到胃內平均pH和中位pH均>6,法莫替丁80mg/天組可達到胃內平均pH和中位pH均>4,其他治療組均未達到pH>4。24小時胃內pH<4、pH<5、pH<6時間所占百分比依次遞增為:奧美拉唑80mg/天組、法莫替丁80mg/天組、雷尼替丁200mg/天組、西咪替丁800mg/天組。各H2受體拮抗劑組與奧美拉唑靜脈滴注組比較,差異均有顯著性。結論 靜脈使用質子泵抑制劑的抑酸效果明顯優于H2受體拮抗劑,尤其是奧美拉唑靜脈滴注胃內pH提高持續的時間較長。

【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the effects on 24-hour intragastric pH levels of infusions with omeprazole and H2 receptor antagonists in bleeding duodenal ulcer patients.Methods 50 patients with active bleeding duodenal ulcer were randomly assigned to receive one of the four treatment regimens. They were omeprazole 40mg iv infusion q12h, famotidine 40mg iv q12h, ranitidine 50mg iv q6h, cimetidine 200mg iv q6h etc. Intragstric pH values were monitored in each subject at baseline and continuously for 24 hours after intravenous regimen.Results Only omeprazole 40mg iv infusion q12h group produced mean and median intragastric pH value above 6. Famotidine 40mg iv q12h group had mean and median intragastric pH above 4. Other groups' pH were below 4, and no significant differences could be found between them. The mean percentages of time of imtagastric pH during 24 hours <4, <5 and <6 were in the increasing order of the groups of omeprazole 40mg iv infusion q12h, famotidine 40mg iv q 12h, ranitidine 50mg q6h, and cimetidine 200mg iv q6h.Conclusion Intravenous use of omeprazole in active duodenal ulcer bleeding is superior to H2 receptor antagonists, the increase of intragastric pH maintains for a longer period.
