Gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage is bleeding from any site in the GI tract (i.e., esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon). Most cases of GI bleeding occur in the upper GI tract; upper GI bleeding (UGIB) is defined as GI bleeding above the ligament of Treitz (i.e., ligament that suspends the duodenum). The clinical presentation of GI bleeding ranges from asymptomatic to hypovolemic shock. An active GI bleed in a child can progress rapidly to hypovolemia and shock. Severe GI bleeding is rare among the pediatric population and therefore, the documented research is limited(Wolfram et al.; 2013).
