Abstract
Untreated preoperative anemia increases the risk of morbidity and mortality and there is increasing evidence that early intervention for preoperative anemia improves outcomes after major surgery. Accordingly, anemia management clinics have been established in various institutions in the USA. As an example, the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics outpatient clinic treats pre-surgical anemic patients, who undergo major surgery with anticipated blood loss of more than 500 mL, by providing effective standardized care in a timely manner. This standardized care is an integral part of patient blood management to reduce perioperative blood transfusion and improve patient outcomes. The importance of preoperative anemia management has not yet been sufficiently recognized in Japan. Timely intervention for preoperative anemia should be incorporated into routine pre-surgical patient care in Japan.
