Start with [2) Blood transfusion], continue with [3) Endoscopy]

IV and to Endoscopy... and beyond...he is not hemodinamicaly unstable. Transfusion can wait. If you give blood he ooze it out. You need to fix the problem in intestine. Besides, the blood will take several hours to crossmatch. Endoscopy first!

He has dark stool >> It's probably an upper GI bleeding,..
The next step is Endoscopy
