dc.description.abstractUpper gastro-intestinal (UGI) endoscopy was per· formed at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. between 1981·83, on patients with history of acute upper gastro-intestinal haemorrhage. Eighty six (86) such patients were endoscoped and results have been rei· respectively analysed to establish the major symptomatology, the underlying lesions, and any other relevant contributory factors. The role of endoscopy in the management of acute upper gastro-intestinal haemorrhage as well as its potential cost effective· ness are discussed. The term endoscopy, in the text, refers to oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy, and GI bleed refers to upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage.en_US
