Dr. D Fergusson: Anemia, in some people may be adaptive and thus beneficial. RCT evidence doesn't show harm in anemia or benefit of transfusion/iron/epo (beyond transfusion avoidance). #periopcongress18 – at Toronto, Ontario

ASOS results reported by @BruceBiccard. In-hospital mortality comparable to 30d mortality in developed countries. This despite healthier patients and less morbid surgery. 0.7 specialists per 100:000 population. #periopcongress18 thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Jeff Healey on BRUISE2. Continued use of DOACs does not increase risk of bleeding complications following rhythm device placement. Antiplatelet agents do. #periopcongress18
