This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing the best timing for an emergency endoscopy procedure in patients with cirrhosis who are bleeding from ruptured veins in the esophagus or stomach. The study will compare two groups: one receiving the endoscopy scope within 12 hours of arriving at the hospital, and another receiving it between 12-24 hours after arrival. Researchers want to see whether doing the procedure sooner helps stop the bleeding faster and prevents it from happening again.
Bleeding from ruptured veins is a life-threatening emergency in patients with cirrhosis, but doctors are not certain whether treating it immediately or waiting a few hours makes a difference. This trial will help answer that question so future patients receive the most effective care.

After you arrive at the hospital with bleeding, you will be randomly assigned to receive an emergency endoscopy scope either within 12 hours or between 12-24 hours of admission. During the endoscopy, a thin tube with a camera is passed through your mouth to locate the bleeding veins and stop the bleeding. The study will then track whether your bleeding stops within 5 days, whether bleeding happens again within 6 weeks, and any side effects you experience.
