The Spanish enhanced recovery in adult surgery strategy, the "RICA pathway", was published in 2021 and includes 19 specific recommendations and more than 20 indirect recommendations for patient blood management (PBM). After reviewing these recommendations, and in the context of the new clinical evidence available, we propose the following updates: First: Detection and treatment of any preoperative anemia status in ALL patients who are candidates for major surgery with hematinic deficiencies. Second: Universal use of tranexamic acid in major surgery, bedside monitoring of intraoperative hemoglobin levels, restrictive transfusion criteria, and monitoring of patient well-being in terms of hydration, coagulability, normothermia and analgesia.

Background: The erythroblast transformation-specific related gene (ERG) is expressed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and endothelial cells. This study aimed to investigate if ERG rs2836411 is a novel genetic locus associated with anemia and aortic dissection (AD).

Method: A case-control trial was conducted to evaluate the association between ERG rs2836411 polymorphism, anemia, and AD risk.

Article Synopsis
  • Post-operative delirium (PD) is a common issue for older adults after surgery, affecting both health outcomes and healthcare costs.
  • This study explored whether administering erythropoietin (EPO) before and after total joint arthroplasty could reduce the occurrence of PD in patients over 65 years old.
  • Results indicated that while no patients in the EPO group developed PD compared to 3.2% in the placebo group, the difference wasn't statistically significant, and both groups exhibited similar cognitive function and inflammatory responses post-surgery.

Materials And Methods: A national survey was conducted among Romanian anesthesiologists to assess PBM guideline adoption.
