Efficacy and safety of intravenous iron therapy as an alternative/adjunct to allogeneic blood transfusion.
Anaemia is a common condition among patients admitted to hospital medicosurgical departments, as well as in critically ill patients. Anaemia is more frequently due to absolute iron deficiency (e.g. chronic blood loss) or functional iron deficiency (e.g. chronic inflammatory states), with other causes being less frequent. In addition, preoperative anaemia is one of the major predictive factors f...
متن کاملIntravenous Iron Sucrose vs. Blood Transfusion in the Management of Symptomatic Post Partum Iron Deficiency Anaemia
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous iron with blood transfusion in post partum women with symptomatic iron deficiency anaemia. Methods: Ninety women were included in the study. The inclusion criteria were: hemoglobin <9g/dl and/or haematocrit <28%, mean corpuscular volume <80fl, ferritin level <15ng/ml, and symptoms of anaemia within 48 hours of delivery. Women with pos...
متن کاملTransfusion Iron Chelation Therapy
As a unique electron donor and acceptor, iron is an essential element in most biological systems. However, its chemical reactivity can result in iron potentially becoming a toxin when present in excessive quantities; accordingly, total body iron must be tightly regulated. As humans have no physiological mechanism for the elimination of excess iron, body iron is controlled mainly by the degree o...

Blood bankers have focused their energy to secure blood transfusion, and only recently have studies been published on the effect of blood donation on iron metabolism. In many facilities, hemoglobin measurement is only performed just before or even during blood donation, but the determination of iron stores is largely ignored. The 2013 paradox of transfusion medicine is due to the fact that bloo...
متن کاملCorpora cavernosa as an alternative route for transfusion.
Routine intravenous blood transfusion is difficult when the blood pressure falls significantly or veins are inaccessible or are sclerotic due to multiple transfusions. Here, we describe the use of penile corpora cavernosa (CC), as an alternative route for blood transfusion and fluid replacement. The study was conducted in 15 men, 7 with massive burns, 6 with sclerotic veins from repeated inject...
