2. Definitions Upper GIB is that originating proximal to the ligament of Treitz ; in practice from the oesophagus , stomach and duodenum. Lower GIB is that originating from the small bowel and colon. Haematemesis ( and coffee-ground vomitus) is vomiting of blood from the upper GI tract or occasionally after swallowing blood from a source in the nasopharynx . Bright red haematemesis usually implies active haemorrhage from the esophagus, stomach or duodenum. This can lead to circulatory collapse and constitutes a major medical emergency. Coffee-ground vomitus refers to the vomiting of black material which is assumed to be blood. Its presence implies that bleeding has ceased or has been relatively modest. Menela is the passage of black tarry stools usually due to acute Upper GIB but occasionally from bleeding within the small bowel or right side of the colon. Hemtaochezia is the passage of fresh or altered blood per rectum usually due to colonic bleeding. Occasionally profuse upper GI or small bowel bleeding can be repsponsible
