Upper GI Endoscopy is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guidelines recommends that upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is performed within 24 hours of presentation in all patients with UGIB. Endoscopy serves not only as a diagnostic tool in the localization of bleeding but also enables the use of therapeutic options, which include embolization or vasopressin infusion.
