Knowledge and perceptions about perioperative stroke: a cross-sectional survey of patients scheduled for non-neurologic and non-cardiac surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients at higher risk of stroke frequently underestimate their risk of perioperative stroke. The majority of patients had not discussed perioperative stroke prior to anesthetic consultation. PMID: 31531829 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Anesthetic consideations for endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsTimely intervention for patients with acute ischemic stroke is of utmost importance. Endovascular thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that has evolved over recent decades and improves outcomes for selected patients with ischemic stroke. Anesthesiologists should have a good understanding of potential complications and anesthetic options. Recent randomized trials have shown that both general anesthesia and sedation are associated with good outcomes; the anesthetic approach should be individualized and may vary by institution. Careful monitoring and maintenance of hemodynamic goals are critical, as is ef...

General anesthesia or conscious sedation for thrombectomy in stroke patients: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsIn this updated systematic review and meta-analysis, the choice of anesthetic strategy for endovascular treatment of stroke patients did not significantly impact functional outcome as measured with the mRS at three months. Patients managed with general anesthesia may have more frequent successful reperfusion.Trial registrationPROSPERO (CRD42022319368); registered 19 April 2022.

Efficacy and safety of erythropoietin and iron therapy to reduce red blood cell transfusion in surgical patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Administration of ESA and iron therapy reduced the risk for RBC transfusion compared with iron therapy alone in patients undergoing cardiac and non-cardiac surgery. Nevertheless, publication bias and heterogeneity reduces the confidence of the finding. Although the analysis was probably under-powered for some outcomes, no difference in the incidence of serious adverse events was observed with ESA and iron compared with iron alone. Further large prospective trials are required to confirm these findings. PMID: 30924000 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
