Guides Romanian clinicians on PBM implementation for surgical anaemia; extends international standards into national guidelines.
Patients with untreated anaemia or iron deficiency who undergo surgical procedures have an increased risk for mortality and morbidity. Patient Blood Management programmes address this issue worldwide and try to improve patient outcomes through a complex set of measures targeting anaemia correction, minimisation of bleeding and improvement of anaemia tolerance, in all phases of perioperative care. The Patient Blood Management Initiative Group is a multidisciplinary team of physicians from specialties including anaesthesiology, nephrology, surgery, orthopaedics, haematology, gastroenterology and transfusion medicine. The team has elaborated ten recommendations, divided into five categories, in order to implement a Patient Blood Management programme in Romania, using the most recent and relevant evidence. The document was discussed during three meetings which took place during October 2016 and May 2017 and the result was modified and updated via e-mail.
