About

Efficacy of a preoperative anaemia clinic in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery diagnosed with iron deficieny anaemia

Full description

Objective: this study aims to investigate how preoperative intravenous iron treatment affects hemoglobin elevations in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia and when treatment should be administrated for optimal effect.

Methods: the study is a prospective, descriptive cohort study, where patients are included from a quality improvement project at The Departments of Abdominal Surgery and the Department of Anesthesia, Centre for Cancer and Organ Disease at Rigshospitalet in Denmark. Patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery will be screened for iron deficiency anaemia 1-4 weeks prior to surgery and patients diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia will be included. Intravenous iron infusion will be administrated preoperatively and Hb will be measured 1-2 days prior to surgery or on day of surgery. The preparation used is ferric derisomaltose (MonoFer, Pharmacosmos A/S, Holbæk, Denmark) with a max single iron dose of 20 mg/kg. The dose administrated is calculated using patient bodyweight and Hb value and administered ≥30 minutes followed by 30 minutes observation including monitoring with 3-lead ECG and pulsoximitri.

Study results will be sought to be published in an international peer-reviewed journal.
