Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in infants and children provokes alarm in parents, and often anxiety in pediatricians. While this clinical situation has not changed over the years, advances in endoscopy and radiology, as well as new therapeutic modalities allow more accurate identification of the cause of bleeding and more effective treatment. Although the majority of GI bleeding in the pediatric population is self limiting, a systematic approach including prompt assessment, diagnosis, and treatment is necessary to preclude undue morbidity.
婴幼儿胃肠道出血会引起家长的恐慌，也常常让儿科医生感到焦虑。尽管多年来这种临床情况并未改变，但内镜检查和放射学的进展以及新的治疗方式使得能够更准确地识别出血原因并进行更有效的治疗。虽然儿科人群中的大多数胃肠道出血是自限性的，但需要一种系统的方法，包括及时评估、诊断和治疗，以避免不必要的发病率。
