TY - JOUR T1 - Towards personalised management for non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding JF - Gut JO - Gut SP - 818 LP - 824 DO - 10.1136/gutjnl-2020-323846 VL - 70 IS - 5 AU - Joseph J Y Sung AU - Loren Laine AU - Ernst J Kuipers AU - Alan N Barkun Y1 - 2021/05/01 UR - http://gut.bmj.com/content/70/5/818.abstract N2 - Guidelines from national and international professional societies on upper gastrointestinal bleeding highlight the important clinical issues but do not always identify specific management strategies pertaining to individual patients. Optimal treatment should consider the personal needs of an individual patient and the pertinent resources and experience available at the point of care. This article integrates international guidelines and consensus into three stages of management: pre-endoscopic assessment and treatment, endoscopic evaluation and haemostasis and postendoscopic management. We emphasise the need for personalised management strategies based on patient characteristics, nature of bleeding lesions and the clinical setting including available resources. ER -
