Abstract:Although the management for small bowel bleeding has been significantly improved because of widely-applicated capsule endoscopy and device-assisted enteroscopy, it remains a clinical difficulty. It is of great practical significance to standardize the diagnosis and treatment strategy of small bowel bleeding so as to further improve efficiency. It is necessary to develop a Chinese consensus on endoscopic diagnosis and management of small bowel bleeding. This consensus, based on evidence-based investigations and expert experience, includes relevant definitions, etiology, diagnostic strategy, endoscopic treatment, drug treatment, and follow-up of small bowel bleeding. Recommendations are formed to practice standardized diagnosis and treatment, which might improve efficiency and ultimate prognosis for management of small bowel bleeding patients.
