Sengstaken Esophageal Balloon Dilator – Emergency Control for Life-Threatening GI Bleeding

Understanding the Sengstaken Balloon Dilator

The Sengstaken Esophageal Balloon Dilator is a life-saving device used in emergencies to manage uncontrollable bleeding caused by esophageal varices. When medication or endoscopic treatment is not effective, this dilator offers temporary control of hemorrhage by applying pressure through inflatable balloons. It is typically used in intensive care and emergency GI settings.

Emergency Intervention for Upper GI Hemorrhage

This device is particularly useful in critical care scenarios where bleeding from varices poses a high risk of mortality. The triple-lumen design allows for simultaneous gastric and esophageal balloon inflation along with gastric aspiration. Its radiopaque markers help confirm correct placement under X-ray, while the high-capacity balloon ensures effective tamponade. This method buys time for more definitive therapy or stabilization in unstable patients.
