Abstract: Upper gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage (UGIH) remains a common presentation requiring urgent evaluation and treatment. Accurate assessment, appropriate intervention and apt clinical skills are needed for proper management from time of presentation to discharge. The advent of pharmacologic acid suppression, endoscopic hemostatic techniques, and recognition of Helicobacter pylori as an etiologic agent in peptic ulcer disease (PU�) has revolutionized the treatment of UGIH. �espite this, acute UGIH still carri… Show more

Due to the incidence of UGIB an initial management should be fast, accurate and appropriate, management should be from pharmacologic acid suppression, endoscopic hemostatic techniques and recognition of Helicobacter pylori as an etiologic agent in peptic ulcer disease [4].…”
