HEMODYNAMIC INSTABILITY
If the hemoglobin level is between 7 g/dL and 12 g/dL in the preoperative blood test, 1000 mg of ferric carboxy-maltose will be administered between 2 and 6 weeks before surgery. During surgery, the need for transfusion will be decided according to the judgment of the attending surgeon and anesthesiologist in case of hemodynamic instability. A blood test will be performed the day after surgery, and if the hemoglobin level is between 7 g/dL and 12 g/dL, 1000 mg of ferric carboxy-maltose will be administered; if the hemoglobin level is 7 g/dL or less, two packs of red blood cells (RBC) will be transfused. The hemoglobin level will be re-evaluated at 3 weeks post-operatively.
