title: [Emergency endoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of hemorrhage in the upper part of the gastrointestinal system].
abstract: The authors describe, based on an analysis of 2970 patients subjected to endoscopy, the advantages of urgent endoscopy performed within six hours after admission to the surgical department. They refute former statements that urgent endoscopy is endoscopy performed within 24 or 48 hours. They discuss the different approach of endoscopists to different types of haemorrhage and to the time factor and emphasize the prognostic considerations of the endoscopist.
