Better guidelines for patients with gastrointestinal bleeding

Dr. Alan Barkun, with Dr. Marc Bardou (Dijon-Bourgogne University Hospital, France), led a group of international experts to develop new guidelines published in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Better management of patients with nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding could reduce pressures in the ER.
