[Conservative treatment of gastroesophageal hemorrhage in portal hypertension syndrome in children].

Intraoperative examinations of 15 patients with extrahepatic portal hypertension carried out to elucidate the effect of pituitrin infusion on the central and portal hemodynamics and analysis of the clinical results of treatment of gastroesophageal hemorrhages with pituitrin infusions in 17 patients showed that infusions of pituitrin solution were sufficiently effective in this patient population. The drug exerted the minimal effect on the central hemodynamics and appreciably improved the portal pressure and bloodflow.
