Preoperative erythropoietin within a patient blood management program decreases both blood transfusion and postoperative anemia: a prospective observational study.

Transfusion
Philippe BibouletSophie Bringuier

Abstract

In orthopedic surgery, a patient blood management program (PBM) has been proposed to reduce blood transfusion. The aim of this observational study was to assess, within a PBM, the specific efficacy of preoperative erythropoietin (EPO). In a single hospital, 723 patients undergoing elective primary hip or knee arthroplasty were prospectively studied. The PBM included EPO if preoperative hemoglobin was lower than 13 g/dL, intraoperative administration of tranexamic acid, use of recommended transfusion thresholds, and postoperative infusion of iron. Blood transfusion and hemoglobin were noted until discharge. Major thromboembolic or cardiovascular events were assessed during admission and 1 month after discharge. Transfusion was noted in 2.5% patients with EPO. Transfusion rate was higher in patient for whom EPO was not indicated (13.6% transfusion rate; odds ratio [OR], 13.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.6-66; p = 10-3 ) or if erythropoietin was indicated but not administrated (36.8% transfusion rate; OR, 18.2; 95% CI, 3.9-84.5; p < 10-3 ). Hemoglobin was significantly higher during the postoperative period in patients with erythropoietin. At hospital discharge, 57% of patients were anemic if EPO was used compared to 88% when ...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
