[Patient Blood Management: Preoperative Anemia and Case Reports from the Anemia Walk-In Clinic]. Anasthesiol Intensivmed Notfallmed Schmerzther. 2019 Mar;54(3):182-193 Authors: Westphal S, Isik S, Choorapoikayil S, Füllenbach C, Zacharowski K, Meybohm P Abstract Preoperative anemia is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality and represents the strongest predictor for transfusion of red blood cells. Iron deficiency anemia is the most frequent form of anemia and could easily be treated by supplementation with iron. Patient Blood Management (PBM) focusses on prevention and management of anemia to optimize the patient and reduce unnecessary allogeneic blood products. PMID: 30866022 [PubMed - in process]
