Digestive tract bleeding is a clinical problem that requires hospitalization. Hemorrhages from the upper parts of the digestive system have an incidence of 150/1 persons per year and are the reason for 1.5% of all emergency hospitalizations. The most common cause of bleeding is gastroduodenal ulcer and erosion in three quarters of cases. Endoscopic haemostatic and gastric acidity status are the most important in the treatment of patients. Aim: To analyze the causes of bleeding from the upper parts of digestive tract and the justification for the urgent gastroscopy. The study was conducted at the Clinical Center Kragujevac in Kragujevac, Serbia. Methods: The study included patients (200) who reported to the emergency room of the Emergency Medicine Center with the clinical picture of bleeding from the upper parts of the digestive tract. Results: Most patients had ulcerative changes at gastric level (58.6%). The most common symptom was melena present in 152 patients. Endoscopic therapy was administered to 44 patients, with 38 patients (86.4%) resulting in arresting bleeding. Conclusion: Hemorrhages from the upper parts of the digestive tract are most commonly caused by peptic ulcers, more common in older, male patients. The first form of diagnosis and therapy is endoscopy, with an efficacy greater than 70%.
