Key result
Review details perioperative anemia management recommendations to reduce mortality and postoperative complications.
Why the study?
Perioperative anemia contributes significantly to perioperative morbidity and mortality, but comprehensive management guidelines are lacking.
This review provides updated evaluation and management recommendations for perioperative anemia, a condition associated with increased postoperative morbidity and mortality.
May inform perioperative anemia management to reduce complications; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Perioperative medicine is an evolving area of medicine in which collaboration between internists, hospitalists, surgeons and anesthesiologists is the key to delivering high-quality care. Research in all areas of perioperative medicine, including perioperative anemia, is constantly evolving. Perioperative anemia is a major contributor to mortality and morbidity in the perioperative period. It is associated with an increased likelihood of postoperative wound complications, infections, delirium, increased length of stay and increased risk of readmissions. However, there is a lack of comprehensive guidelines for management of perioperative anemia. We performed an exhaustive review of contemporary literature on perioperative anemia and present evaluation and management recommendations that have the potential to impact clinical practice in the perioperative period.
