“…In our study, intravenous ferrous sucrose provided a rapid restoration of both iron stores and Hb for women with postpartum IDA. Similar results had been reported by Asia et al [18], Armand-Ugón et al [19], Bigger et al [20] and Dewan et al [21]. The results of these studies revealed that intravenous therapy significantly increases Hb levels and rapidly replenish iron stores within shortest possible time, i.e.…”

“…Iron sucrose is very effective as it is rapidly removed from plasma and used for Erythropoiesis. These findings are supported by study done by Broche et al (10) in which Hb increase by 1.9gm/dl in 7 days & 3.1 gm/dl in 14 days.…”

Comparison between intravenous iron sucrose & oral ferrous fumarate in chronic anaemia due to chronic haemorrhoids. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: METHODS AND MATERIAL: This study was conducted on 30 patients with chronic anaemia with Hb from 4.4-8 gm/dl. The patients were randomized into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 15 patients who received 300-600 mg of intravenous iron sucrose every alternate day for 3 days. Group2 consisted of 15 patients & were given 300 mg of ferrous fumarate orally daily for 14 days. Statistical analysis used: RESULTS: After 14 days in group1 the Hb increased by 2.8 gm/dl in comparison to 1 gm/dl in group 2. CONCLUSIONS: The results show that use of intravenous iron sucrose increases Hb level more rapidly than oral therapy in chronic anaemic patients of haemorrhoids without any side effects.

“…to increase haemoglobin concentration by 2.1 g dl À1 within 7 days of administration. 209 A comparator group of patients received oral iron supplementation, and these women showed no increase in haemoglobin concentration (possibly because of the short time period). In another study of intravenous iron sucrose, administered preoperatively to patients scheduled for orthopaedic surgery, a significant increase in haemoglobin concentration was observed.…”

The aims of severe perioperative bleeding management are three-fold. First, preoperative identification by anamesis and laboratory testing of those patients for whom the perioperative bleeding risk may be increased. Second, implementation of strategies for correcting preoperative anaemia and stabilisation of the macro- and microcirculations in order to optimise the patient's tolerance to bleeding. Third, targeted procoagulant interventions to reduce the amount of bleeding, morbidity, mortality and costs. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide an overview of current knowledge on the subject with an assessment of the quality of the evidence in order to allow anaesthetists throughout Europe to integrate this knowledge into daily patient care wherever possible. The Guidelines Committee of the European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) formed a task force with members of scientific subcommittees and individual expert members of the ESA. Electronic databases were searched without language restrictions from the year 2000 until 2012. These searches produced 20 664 abstracts. Relevant systematic reviews with meta-analyses, randomised controlled trials, cohort studies, case-control studies and cross-sectional surveys were selected. At the suggestion of the ESA Guideline Committee, the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) grading system was initially used to assess the level of evidence and to grade recommendations. During the process of guideline development, the official position of the ESA changed to favour the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. This report includes general recommendations as well as specific recommendations in various fields of surgical interventions. The final draft guideline was posted on the ESA website for four weeks and the link was sent to all ESA members. Comments were collated and the guidelines amended as appropriate. When the final draft was complete, the Guidelines Committee and ESA Board ratified the guidelines.
