Perioperative medicine is an evolving area of medicine in which collaboration between internists, hospitalists, surgeons and anesthesiologists is the key to delivering high-quality care. Research in all areas of perioperative medicine, including perioperative anemia, is constantly evolving. Perioperative anemia is a major contributor to mortality and morbidity in the perioperative period. It is associated with an increased likelihood of postoperative wound complications, infections, delirium, increased length of stay and increased risk of readmissions. However, there is a lack of comprehensive guidelines for management of perioperative anemia. We performed an exhaustive review of contemporary literature on perioperative anemia and present evaluation and management recommendations that have the potential to impact clinical practice in the perioperative period.

Background: In USA, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) ranks amongst the top five surgeries that require hospitalization. As a result, the healthcare system in USA could face a considerable financial strain due to the emergence of subsequent pulmonary problems. This study aimed to conduct a thorough examination of the prevalence, influential factors and medical importance of pulmonary complications, with emphasis on pneumonia, respiratory failure and pulmonary embolism (PE) following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) procedures in USA.

Background: The administration of blood components and their alternatives can be lifesaving. Anaemia, bleeding and transfusion are all associated with poor peri-operative outcomes. Considerable changes in the approaches to optimal use of blood components and their alternatives, driven by the findings of large randomised controlled trials and improved haemovigilance, have become apparent over the past decade.
