Brief Summary: To evaluate if intravenous PPI infusion when administered prior to endoscopy hastens resolution of bleeding stigmata and thereby facilitates endoscopic examinations and reduces the need for endoscopic treatment Clot stabilization may itself sustain control of bleeding before endoscopy These may translate into improved patientsoutcome and survival

To determine the therapeutic effect of high-dose PPI infusion in upper gastrointestinal bleeding from causes other than peptic ulcers
Detailed Description: A placebo-controlled randomised study is being proposed We hypothesize that early administration of intravenous omeprazole infusion stabilizes clots overlying arteries and hastens resolution of bleeding stigmata in peptic ulcer and facilitates subsequent endoscopic examinations and reduces the need for endoscopic treatment This may translates into clinical benefits in those who receive early intravenous omeprazole

Consecutive patients with overt signs of upper gastrointestinal bleeding will be randomised to receive omeprazole or its equivalent placebo 80mg iv bolus followed by 8mghr until next scheduled endoscopy Patients with circulatory instability or fresh hematemesis will undergo endoscopic examinations urgently after initial stabilisation The infusion will continue until endoscopic examination with or without therapy Next scheduled endoscopy is performed within 24 hours from admission by experienced endoscopists with expertise in therapeutic endoscopy At endoscopy actively bleeding ulcers or ulcers with non-bleeding visible vessels are to be treated by endoscopic therapy Omeprazole infusion 8mghr is to be continued for 72 hours after endoscopic hemostasis

Patients will be followed-up for 30 days from the time of admission or if patients stay longer than 30 days the time to hospital discharge or death
