“…A case report on a 3-month-old infant with upper GI bleeding showed that the use of continuous intravenous infusion of omeprazole at a dose of 0.15 mg/kg/h contributed to controlling the patient's bleeding. However, rebleeding occurred after stopping the infusion, and omeprazole infusion was resumed with a higher dose of 0.3 mg/kg/h along with surgery until bleeding was controlled ( 6 ). In our study, the median (IQR) of the initial dose of omeprazole IV continuous infusion was 0.10 mg/kg/h (0.08–0.17) with a median (IQR) treatment duration of 3.9 days (2.9–5.6).…”

“…A case study conducted in the United Kingdom showed the effectiveness of continuous intravenous infusion of omeprazole in managing upper gastrointestinal bleeding in a 3-month-old infant. The omeprazole infusion was initiated at a dose of 0.15 mg/kg/h and resulted in successful control of bleeding within 6 h. Notably, discontinuation of the infusion led to rebleeding, which was then managed by escalating the omeprazole dose to 0.3 mg/kg/h and concurrent surgical intervention, resulting in successful bleeding control ( 6 ).…”

“…This is to ensure the continued suppression of stomach acid to reduce the of risk of re-bleeding.Current practice in UK paediatric intensive care units varies, but the use of 160 mg/1.73 m 3 over 24 hour has previously been reported 1. This is commonly prepared as a 0.8 mg/ml solution changed either at 12 or 24 hrs after preparation depending on reference source used 2…”
