Popis:	Bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract is a frequent cause for emergency hospital admission that concerns both the endoscopist and general surgeon. Regarding the cause, peptic ulcers are the most frequent source of bleeding. Regarding severity, they range from simply a small episode to severe life-threatening hemorrhage. The aim of this article is to present current trends regarding optimal diagnostic work-up and therapeutic procedures for patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, especially those with severe haemorrhage, by a comprehensive review of the current literature.
