Abstract
Acute peptic ulcer bleeding remains one of the most frequent medical emergency in internal medicine, with significant risk of mortality and severe complications. Appropriately organized multidisciplinary management, based on clinically proven algorithms, helps to control this clinical situation and improve outcomes in this group of patients. It should be noted crucial role of endoscopy, which done in a proper time and under optimal conditions, is the basis for the planning of further procedures, helps in determining prognosis and allows effective control of bleeding.This paper aims to outline most important recommendations for the management of patients with overt upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to gastric or duodenal ulcers. The recommendations are based on the current practice guidelines, accepted and published by the American College of Gastroenterology (1) in 2012 and Polish guidelines published in 2008 (2).
