These guidelines were constructed after a joint audit and review of practice at the three specialised centres in June 2016 and reviewed again in 2021. Although evidence based where possible, where not available they represent consensus. A detailed version of this guideline which includes review of evidence, together with reference to adult evidenced based guidelines is available. Section 4: management of acute variceal bleed: is designed for implementation at any hospital to which a child presents and can be used as a stand-alone guideline.
