Survey of the Impact of Decision Support in Preoperative Management of Anemia (i-Anemia): Survey Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Major surgery on patients with anemia has demonstrated an increased risk of perioperative blood transfusions and postoperative morbidity and mortality. Recent studies have shown that integrating preoperative anemia treatment as a component of perioperative blood management may reduce blood product utilization and improve outcomes in both cardiac and noncardiac surgery. However, outpatient management of anemia falls outside of daily practice for most anesthesiologists and is probably weakly understood.

Objective

We conducted a simulated case survey with anesthesiologists to accomplish the following aims: (1) evaluate the baseline knowledge of the preoperative optimization of anemia and (2) determine the impact of real-time clinical decision support on anemia manage
