Zeroual and colleagues report the results of a single-centre, single-blinded randomised controlled study of cardiac surgery patients comparing two strategies for transfusion of red blood cells. The control group followed […]
Surgical patients may be at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). SARS‐CoV‐2 infection has been shown to increase this risk. In this huge international, multicentre, prospective cohort study of elective and emergency […]
Current approaches to trauma resuscitation focus on the timely control of bleeding and correction of trauma-induced coagulopathy using the administration of haemostatic therapy. Over the past decade, targeted and individualized […]
Perioperative iron – There is no easy answer Intravenous (IV) iron is a major cornerstone of every PBM programme. It has been shown in many clinical situations that IV iron […]
This observationnal study has included 240 consecutive patients with confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection admitted to one of three hospitals. One-hundred nine critically ill COVID 19 patients admitted […]
There are few drugs that have gone through such a rollercoaster ride as hydroxyethyl starch (HES). While shortly after its introduction the belief still prevailed that all types of volume […]
In this retrospective, observational study, Waldén et al. describe the occurrence of thromboembolic events and mortality in cardiac surgery patients, depending on whether the patient had received fibrinogen supplementation. The […]
This article describes a new physiology via the upregulation of FGF23 by ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) with subsequent development of hypophosphatemia. It provides a degree of caution with the long-term use […]
This trial is a non-inferiority RCT comparing the effect of a liberal versus restrictive transfusion strategy on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients undergoing haematopoietic stem cell (HCT) transplant. […]
This study examines the association between postoperative anaemia and postoperative delirium. Given the high prevalence of postoperative anaemia, the authors were interested in understanding whether the lower oxygen delivery associated […]
In this article, the authors present their approach to the treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia in patients presenting for elective oesophagogastric surgery. These patients had a high incidence of preoperative anaemia […]
This study aimed to explore the variation in transfusion practice amongst critical care physicians using a cross-sectional online survey of critical care providers identified through the European Society of Intensive […]
In this multicentre, parallel-group, open-label, randomised trial, the authors compared the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban versus standard anticoagulants in children 0-17 years with venous thromboembolism. Across 107 paediatric hospitals […]
The Platelets for Neonatal Thrombocytopenia (PlaNeT-2) trial, a multicentre randomised clinical trial, found an unexpected overall benefit of a prophylactic platelet transfusion threshold of 25 x 10^9/L compared to 50 x 10^9/L for […]
Early plasma transfusion is believed to improve maternal outcomes in postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) because it could theoretically prevent or treat coagulopathy occurring among women treated for persistent PPH. However, as […]
