Abstract
Objective: To review Vitamin K deficiency bleeding as it relates to infant male circumcision and provide insights and recommendations on how to provide the best care for infants who did not receive prophylactic intramuscular (IM) Vitamin K.
Methods: This is a clinical perspective that was informed by a targeted literature review to identify current evidence and best practices related to Vitamin K deficiency bleeding as it related to infant male circumcision.
Results: When appropriately counseled and with contingency protocols in place, circumcision may be safely performed in select infants without prophylactic IM Vitamin K.
Conclusion: This paper offers a reasoned framework for safely performing infant male circumcision when prophylactic IM Vitamin K is declined.
