| Core Tip |
The Sengstaken-Blakemore tube, introduced in the 1950s, was once vital in managing acute gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, particularly from esophageal varices. Over the years, modern techniques with advanced precision, efficacy, and safety for managing variceal bleeding have emerged, causing a significant decline in its use. Today, the interplay between the introduction of GI endoscopy and enhanced pharmacological interventions render the Sengstaken-Blakemore tube obsolete in emergency GI care. The decline of the historically significant device warrants a review its replacements. |
