Very-Short-Term Perioperative Intravenous Iron Administration and Postoperative Outcome in Major Orthopedic Surgery: A Pooled Analysis of Observational Data from 2547 Patients
Despite known limitations of pooled observational analyses, these results suggest that very-short-term perioperative administration of IV iron, with or without rHuEPO, in major lower limb orthopedic procedures is associated with reduced ABT rates and LHS, without increasing postoperative morbidity or mortality.
The Current Place of Aprotinin in the Management of Bleeding
Following its withdrawal in 2007, which is explained in detail in this review, the regulators have now licensed aprotinin for myocardial revascularisation only, which is relatively low-risk for bleeding.
