Key result
Integrating Patient Blood Management into cardiac ERAS pathways may improve outcomes and reduce transfusions.
Why the study?
Perioperative anemia remains under-addressed in cardiac surgery ERAS pathways despite its high prevalence and association with increased transfusions, morbidity, and mortality.

Caution against routine adoption; leaves open whether PBM integration in cardiac ERAS improves outcomes or reduces transfusions.
Integrating Patient Blood Management into Enhanced Recovery After Surgery pathways in cardiac surgery is essential to address perioperative anemia and improve patient outcomes.
Borgomoni et al. (2025) conducted an editorial in Cardiac surgery. Integration of Patient Blood Management (PBM) into ERAS pathways was evaluated. Integrating Patient Blood Management into cardiac Enhanced Recovery After Surgery pathways addresses a critical gap that could lead to improved patient outcomes and lower transfusion rates.
