To present a clinical approach for diagnosing and managing upper gastrointestinal bleeding in critically ill patients.
To differentiate between primary GI bleeding and bleeding secondary to critical illness.

Main Methods:

Review of clinical approaches to upper gastrointestinal bleeding in critical care.
Discussion of diagnostic and management strategies.

Main Results:

Delineation of two primary categories of UGIB in critical care: gastroenterologic vs. nongastroenterologic complications.
