“…Although many prospective studies have carefully documented the timing of emergent endoscopy for high-risk patients with nonvariceal UGIH, [44][45][46][47] few have used a control group of patients undergoing delayed endoscopy to compare patient outcomes on the basis of timing alone. Moreover, of the studies that have made this comparison, few have examined the role of early endoscopy as both a diagnostic and a therapeutic tool.…”

The overwhelming majority of existing data suggest that early endoscopy is safe and effective for all risk groups. The clinical and economic outcomes of early endoscopy should be confirmed in additional well-designed randomized controlled trials. Given the strength of the evidence, efforts to develop a more standardized and time-sensitive approach to acute nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage should be undertaken.

“…At some institutions, the creation of specialized bleeding teams direct the hemostasis cases to individuals who have considerable experience in these techniques [37]. Stevens bleeding and found that those individuals treated by a specialized 'bleeding team' had significantly improved outcome for each variable as compared to those patients treated by other gastroenterologists at the institution [37].…”
