1.   Endoscopic injection, however, is still the most convenient and cost effective means for the arrest of peptic ulcer haemorrhage.

2.   In two prospective, randomised trials, endoscopic injection and multipolar electrocoagulation are concluded to be equally effective in the arrest of massive peptic ulcer bleeding.

3.   Further study of endoscopic injection is needed.

4.   Patients were accepted for endoscopic injection if an active bleeder was seen during an emergency endoscopic examination after resuscitation.

5.   The possibility of complications of endoscopic injection were discussed with the patients or their relatives, or both and written informed consent was obtained before the trial.

6.   For every patient enrolled in the study, a sealed envelope was opened before performing an endoscopic injection to decide the injected solution.

7.   Recent attention has focused on endoscopic injection with encouraging results.
