ANAEMIA-ITS IMPORTANCE IN GENERAL
SURGICAL PRACTICE
Dr.R.Selvakumar
ANAEMIAIs it that important to discuss
for an hour..?
I.S.A-TNLI
How much importance we give to anaemia?
How do we diagnose anaemia?
I.S.A-TNLI
When we see 3G and 4G% Hb
in the general population…
Why do we have to worry?
I.S.A-TNLI
To answer these questions…
…knowing some basics is necessary
I.S.A-TNLI
O2 is carried in blood in 2 forms:
1. Combined with Hb
2. Dissolved in plasma
I.S.A-TNLI
HOW MUCH O2 IS DISSOLVED IN PLASMA?
• Quantity
• Importance
I.S.A-TNLI
What do we achieve in
giving O2 by mask?
I.S.A-TNLI
IMPORTANCE OF Hb
• Amount of O2 carried by Hb
• Reserve O2
• Amount of O2 needed for metabolism
I.S.A-TNLI
O2 CONTENT OF BLOOD
{Hb X 1.32 X SaO2 } +{ 0.003 X paO2 }
O2 FLUX:
O2 content X cardiac output
I.S.A-TNLI
O2 CASCADE:
150mm
100mm
50mm

I.S.A-TNLI
In nutshell….
What we need is just 2mm of Hg of O2
at mitochondrial level……
I.S.A-TNLI
What will happen if that is not provided?
•Anaerobic metabolism
•Scarcity of ATP
I.S.A-TNLI
If some stupid ATP is not provided
why the cell has to die…?
Importance of ATP pump
I.S.A-TNLI
COMPENSATORY MECHANISMS IN ANAEMIA:
Can u increase the O2 content of blood by
manipulating the factors involved in the formula?
{Hb X 1.32 X SaO2 } +{ 0.003 X paO2 }
I.S.A-TNLI
COMPENSATORY MECHANISM IN ANAEMIA;
•Tachycardia
•Cardiac strain
•Vascular tone
•Increased cardiac output
•Associated hypoproteinaemia
EASY TENDENCY FOR PULMONARY EDEMA
I.S.A-TNLI
HOW DO WE CORRECT ANAEMIA?
•Oral and parentral preparations
•Blood transfusion
Is there any other way to tackle anemia?
I.S.A-TNLI
Can we manage without Hb?
O2 content of 100ml of arterial blood= 20ml
O2 content of 100 ml venous blood = 15 ml
Tissues need just 5ml of O2

Is there any alternate to Hb?
SYNTHETIC O2 CARRIERS:
1.Perfluoro carbon-Fluosol-DA
paO2 has to be above 300 mm of Hg
2. Perflurooctyl bromide:
longer half life
3-4 times more O2
on the trials
3. Hb based O2 carriers
outdated human RBCs, or bovine RBC
increased affinity to O2
renal toxicity
I.S.A-TNLI
SYNTHETIC O2 CARRIERS:
4. Recombinant Hb from E.Coli
5. Recombinant erythropoietin
6. Haemopure:
ultrapurified bovine RBC –
gluteraldehyde polymerised
no croosmatching or typing
no transmission of infection
increased BP and decreased CI
approved in south africa
I.S.A-TNLI
ROLE OF ERYTHROPOIETIN IN
TREATING ANEMIA
•Recombinant erythropoietin ( rHuEPO)
•300 units/kg S/C daily for 5 days
•Every other day for a minimum of 2 weeks
•Improves the haematocrit
•36% compared to 31% in placebo
I.S.A-TNLI
BLOOD TRANSFUSION
•Role of pre-op transfusion
•How many bottles of blood to be given?
I.S.A-TNLI
PREOP BLOOD TRANSFUSION..
•Packed red cells
•Risk of infection,circulatory overload.
•1 unit increases Hb by 1G%
•? Quality of the donated blood
•? Quality of storage
•? Simultaneous frusemide administration
I.S.A-TNLI
Is there a magic figure of Hb level before
submitting the patient for an elective surgery?
I.S.A-TNLI
If oxygen saturation is good, can you take a
patient for surgery with anaemia?
I.S.A-TNLI
If an ectopic rupture can be taken with a Hb
of 3 or 4 g%, Why not a patient with 7 G%?
I.S.A-TNLI
DANGERS OF ANEMIA-INTRA OP PERIOD
•May be masked
•Increased O2 supply during GA compensates
•Spinal- mild hypotension and vasodilatation
compensate
I.S.A-TNLI
DANGERS OF ANAEMIA – INTRAOP PERIOD
Impact of anemia depends on
existing organ function
vascular status
level of atherosclerosis
cardiac status…etc
I.S.A-TNLI
DANGERS OF ANAEMIA – INTRAOP PERIOD
Even during a normal course of a well
conducted anesthesia and an uneventful
Surgery, there may be brief periods of
hypotension and hypoperfusion….
The impact of this is aggravated
by anemia
I.S.A-TNLI
Word of caution:
We measure the success of surgery only by
looking at the absence of mortality not morbidity.
I.S.A-TNLI
DANGERS OF ANAEMIA- POSTOP PERIOD
•Most dangerous period
•All the supports are withdrawn
•Persistent impact of anesthetic drugs and techniques
•Surgical incision,pain all increase O2 requirement
•Even shivering increases it by 200%
All these factors resulting in a subtle hypoxaemia
I.S.A-TNLI
DANGERS OF ANEMIA- LATE POST OP PERIOD
•Wound healing requires good O2 supply
•Burst abdomen, wound dehescence, bowel anastamotic
leak,skin graft failure- all due to reduced O2supply
•Associated hypoproteinaemia aggravates..
I.S.A-TNLI
Summarising…
1.The tissues need just 2mm of Hg Oxygen
2. The O2 content of the blood can only be
increased by maximising Hb.
3. Body tries to compensate for chronic anemia
4. Immediate preop blood transfusion may not help
I.S.A-TNLI
Summarising…
5. One unit of preop transfusion improves Hb
by 1 g%
6. There is no fixed,magic figure of Hb
before any surgery
7. Anaemia may not kill a patient intra operatively.
8. The most dangerous period is the post op period
I.S.A-TNLI
CONCLUSION:
DON’T TAKE ANEMIA LIGHTLY
IT IS A SILENT KILLER.
