[Emerging Diagnostic Techniques and Therapies for Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding].

Abstract

The clinical outcomes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) have improved in recent years because of standardized peri-endoscopy care and advances in endoscopic procedures. Early identification of high-risk patients is essential for intensive management and pre-emptive intervention. Therefore, an accurate, rapid, easy-to-interpret, and non-invasive tool can assist in diagnosing and offering guidance for clinical decision-making in scenarios of a suspected UGIB. Although standard endoscopic treatment is indispensable, the emergence of novel endoscopic therapies has brought about significant advances in the landscape of UGIB management, yielding improved outcomes. Further research into these novel treatments is needed to understand their efficacy and safety profiles and enhance their role in the management of UGIB in the future.
