Anemia and Transfusion in Children: Hidden Risks in Plain Sight

In this episode, Dr. Hadzic discusses the main findings from a new study from the British Journal of Anaesthesia (2025). The study reported that 1 in 4 children having noncardiac surgery has preoperative anemia, and that both anemia and transfusion independently, and especially together, increase 30-day mortality and complications. Despite strong global guidelines for blood management and anesthesia care in adults, pediatric blood management remains under-implemented. Learn how this data can transform your pre-op protocols, and what steps you can take right now to improve pediatric surgical outcomes.Where else to find us: Web- ⁠⁠http://www.nysora.com⁠⁠ Instagram- ⁠⁠instagram.com/nysora.inc/ ⁠⁠LinkedIN- ⁠⁠linkedin.com/company/nysora-inc/⁠⁠ Facebook- ⁠⁠facebook.com/nysora⁠⁠ Twitter- ⁠⁠x.com/nysora⁠⁠ TikTok- ⁠⁠tiktok.com/@nysora_inc⁠⁠ --------------------------------------------------------- ⁠⁠#nysora⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#regionalanesthesia⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#anesthesia⁠⁠Disclaimer: Medicine is an ever-changing science.
