The chance of needing transfusions is increased in surgeries which cause a lot of blood loss. The chance of needing transfusions is also increased in patients who are anemic before undergoing the surgery. […] Patients who have transfusions around the time of surgery have higher complication rates, hospital stays and death rates than those who do not require transfusion. Studies have shown that patients with anemia who require elective major surgery and have their anemia evaluated and treated before the surgery have a significantly lower chance of needing transfusions. By treating the anemia beforehand, we hope to improve your chances of a good outcome from surgery.
