Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does continuous infusion of pantoprazole with octreotide improve management of variceal hemorrhage?
Answer: Prolonged continuous infusions of pantoprazole with octreotide seemed to offer no additional benefit compared with octreotide plus short-term infusions of pantoprazole or intermittent acid suppression in the management of acute variceal hemorrhage. Prospective studies should be conducted to evaluate the role of continuously infused proton pump inhibitors in this setting before their use can be advocated.
Output (English): no
