“…26 A meta-analysis found that significantly fewer patients had signs of recent bleeding on endoscopy if they received a proton pump inhibitor 24 to 48 hours before the procedure, but it did not find any significant difference in important clinical outcomes such as death, recurrent bleeding, or surgery. 27 Nevertheless, we believe that intravenous proton pump inhibitor therapy should be started before endoscopy in patients with upper GI bleeding.…”

Acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is common and potentially life-threatening and needs a prompt assessment and aggressive medical management. All patients need to undergo endoscopy to diagnose, assess, and possibly treat any underlying lesion. In addition, patients found to have bleeding ulcers should receive a proton pump inhibitor, the dosage and duration of treatment depending on the endoscopic findings and clinical factors.
