**2. Control of Hemorrhage**

The main goals of therapy in hospitalized patients with cirrhosis presenting with acute upper GI bleeding are (a) to control bleeding and (b) to prevent early rebleeding and death. Management can be divided into *general* measures, before the source of bleeding has been identified, and *specific* measures, once upper endoscopy has determined that hemorrhage is from esophageal varices.
