Urgent endoscopy for maroon or bloody stools
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a quick endoscopic exam of the upper digestive tract helps people who come to the hospital with maroon-colored or bloody stools. It may find the source of bleeding and guide treatment.

This study tests whether a “videocapsule endoscopy” (a small camera you swallow) can find the cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding when a first scope doesn’t show active bleeding. It may help doctors locate hidden bleeding sources and guide treatment.
This study looks at what doctors find during an endoscopy (camera test) for people who have bright red or dark black blood in their stool. It may help you understand what is causing your bleeding.
This trial tests a swallowable camera (capsule endoscopy) to look inside the gut in people with severe ongoing rectal bleeding. It may help doctors find the bleeding source when symptoms are serious and blood counts are dropping.
This trial looks at when to perform an endoscopy (a camera test to look inside your stomach) in people who have both heart disease and stomach bleeding. If you take blood thinners for your heart and have a sudden stomach bleed, this study can help find the safest time for the procedure.
This study tests a new blue dye spray (UI-EWD) versus standard endoscopy treatment for people with active upper GI bleeding. The goal is to see if the dye helps doctors find and stop bleeding more effectively.
This trial looks at how often bleeding happens after an upper scope (EGD) or colonoscopy in people who keep taking blood-thinning medicines during the procedure. The results may help doctors choose safer prep plans to lower bleeding risk.
