Preoperative anemia in cardiovascular surgery patients

Anemi, kardiyovasküler cerrahi hastalarının ameliyat öncesi değerlendirmelerinde en sık şekilde karşılaşılan hematolojik sorundur. Ameliyat öncesi anemi kardiyak cerrahi uygulanan hastalarda mortalite ve morbidite artışı ile ilişkilidir. Ayrıca birçok risk ve yan etkisi olan ameliyat sırası kan transfüzyonunun en önemli belirleyicisidir. Bu nedenle ameliyat öncesi aneminin nedenini saptamak ve tedavi etmek ameliyat sonrasında ortaya çıkabilecek istenmeyen sonuçları ortadan kaldırabilir. Kardiyovasküler cerrahiden önce anemi tedavisi uygulanmasının, ameliyat sonrasında ortaya çıkan istenmeyen sonuçları ortadan kaldırıp kaldırmayacağının belirlenmesi için gelecekte bu konuda çalışmalar yapılması gerekmektedir.

Kardiyovasküler cerrahi hastalarında ameliyat öncesi anemi

Anemia is the most commonly encountered hematological condition during the preoperative evaluation of the cardiovascular surgery patients. Preoperative anemia is associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality in patients who undergo cardiac surgery. In addition, it is the most important determinant of perioperative blood transfusion, with its many risks and side effects. Therefore, determining and treating the reason of preoperative anemia may resolve post-surgical untoward results. Future studies are warranted to determine whether the treatment for anemia administrated before the cardiovascular surgery will resolve postoperative untoward results.
