The goal of this clinical trial is to compare resuscitation strategies in patients with cirrhosis and gastrointestinal bleeding. The main question it aims to answer is whether thromboelastography guided resuscitation decreased the amount of fresh frozen plasma patients receive. Patients will receive blood products guided by thromboelastography in the intervention group. Researchers will compare the patients who undergo thromboelastography guided resuscitation to those who receive usual care to see which strategy leads to the use of less blood products, specifically less fresh frozen plasma.
