Abstract
This chapter synthesizes the updated evidence and proposes integrated algorithms for the management of peptic ulcer bleeding. It discusses initial assessment, hemodynamic stabilization, risk stratification, diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, periendoscopic pharmacologic strategies, management of recurrent bleeding, and second-line options. The main recommendations are supported by international guidelines and high-quality clinical studies.
