Summary

This study looks at whether giving proton pump inhibitors (like omeprazole) to people with cirrhosis who have bleeding in the esophagus causes more complications in the hospital. Researchers will randomly assign 60 adults to receive either the drug or no drug after an endoscopic procedure. They will track problems like confusion, infections, re-bleeding, shock, and kidney failure to see if the medication makes things worse.
