Article Synopsis
  • The French National Authority for Health (HAS) has released new guidelines for patient blood management (PBM) during surgeries, focusing on three key areas: optimizing red blood cell count, minimizing blood loss, and managing anemia tolerance.
  • Preoperative recommendations include identifying anemia and iron deficiency early, especially for surgeries with a higher risk of bleeding.
  • Intraoperative strategies involve using tranexamic acid and certain surgical techniques to control bleeding, while postoperative guidance emphasizes reducing blood sampling and monitoring for anemia to determine if treatments like intravenous iron are needed.

The tests were repeated twice on two occasions separated by a 48-hour interval.
