OCOSO2: study protocol for a single-blinded, multicentre, randomised controlled trial assessing a central venous oxygen saturation-based goal-directed therapy to reduce postoperative complications in high-risk patients after elective major surgery.

Background: Fluid loading-based goal-directed therapy is a cornerstone of anaesthesia management in major surgery. Its widespread application has contributed to a significant improvement in perioperative morbidity and mortality. In theory, only hypovolemic patients should receive fluid therapy.

Patient Blood Management in Transurethral Resection Surgery: Overview and Strategy Analysis from a French Tertiary Hospital.

Introduction: Since Patient blood management (PBM) suggests a bundle of measures aiming to reduce perioperative blood transfusion because preoperative anemia and blood transfusion are associated with poor postoperative outcomes. There is a lack of data on the effect of PBM in patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) or bladder tumor (TURBT). We aimed to assess the bleeding risk in TURP and TURBT procedures and the effect of preoperative anemia on postoperative morbimortality.
