Abstract: Since 2008, propranolol has become the first-line treatment for infantile hemangiomas. Many researches have been reported on its treatment mechanism both at home and abroad, and several expert consensus or clinical practice guidelines have been formulated and published. In recent years, with the continuous accumulation of clinical experience, increasing number of basic research works, and deepening understanding of the pathogenesis of hemangioma and the mechanism of action of propranolol, it is necessary to update the expert consensus to be more consistent with clinical practice, in order to guide medication and management, provide scientific norms for the clinical use of propranolol in the treatment of infantile hemangiomas. This updated version mainly simplified the process of clinical examination, medication, and monitoring, making it more convenient and operable.
