If blood is detected or symptoms suggest internal bleeding, the next step is often endoscopy (a flexible camera inserted via the mouth) to visualise the digestive tract, find ulcers, varices, or lesions, and sometimes treat the cause directly Treatment depends entirely on whats causing the bleed: ulcers may be treated with acidblocking drugs, inflamed tissue with medication, varices with banding or other interventions
if the solution becomes cloudy, develops visible particulate matter, or the color changes significantly, do not use discard and reconstitute a fresh vial
