| Description | When dealing with an upper gastrointestinal (UGI) emergency (or any surgical emergency) you should approach your patient in an ABCDE (airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure) manner. If you are alone, it is essential to prioritise resuscitation in any acutely unwell patient over taking a history or ordering investigations. If a patient is very unstable, ensure that a peri-arrest call is put out so that the patient can be dealt with effectively with additional support. Book Name: Take Charge!
