Normal saline and balanced crystalloid fluids were almost equally preferred for initial fluid resuscitation. Hemodynamically unstable patients were typically managed in emergency departments and\/or intensive care units. Over 85% of respondents followed a restrictive blood transfusion strategy in stable patients, but this dropped to 50.3% in hemodynamically unstable cases. Among respondents, 34.3% did not routinely use prokinetics, and 27.6% avoided their use, even in cases of severe bleeding or suspected gastric emptying disorders. The majority (87.1%) prescribed proton pump inhibitors before endoscopy. For suspected variceal bleeding, 83.7% reported using vasoactive agents, and 74.3% reported administering prophylactic antibiotics. Younger clinicians were more likely to follow recent guidelines than those with over 15\u2009years of clinical experience.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We found considerable variation in the pre-endoscopic management of individuals with AUGIB.
