What this Trial Is About
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a serious medical emergency with high risks and costs. This trial evaluates whether using a cap attached to the endoscope during upper endoscopy can improve the detection and treatment of bleeding sources that are difficult to see due to their location and movements during the procedure. Previous small cases showed that the cap may help expose bleeding areas better and allow quicker treatment. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either a standard upper endoscopy or an upper endoscopy with a cap attached. The cap aids in exploring hidden areas behind folds in the digestive tract. The study will compare these two approaches to see if the cap reduces procedure time and improves treatment success. During the study, participants will undergo endoscopy to identify and treat bleeding ulcers. Researchers will measure how long it takes to stop the bleeding, how well the bleeding site is seen, and the stability of the endoscope. Follow-up assessments will occur up to one month after the procedure to evaluate clinical and therapeutic success and monitor participant outcomes.
