Filter by:Preoperative anaemia has been shown to be associated with worse outcomes after surgery in both adults and children. Limited research has been done on how common preoperative iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) is in children and how best to treat it. Oral iron is a relatively cost-effective treatment for IDA. This study aims to show whether giving children with IDA oral iron for 6-12 weeks before their surgery significantly improves their haemoglobin.
Although outpatient surgery is increasing in France, particularly in paediatrics, compliance with analgesics prescriptions and pain management on return home remain poorly controlled parameters, although they are essential for optimal care. This is due, among other things, to parents' lack of knowledge and fears about the medicines prescribed to them. The paediatric anaesthesia unit of the Rouen University Hospital has set up a website for families to improve understanding of and compliance with the prescription of painkillers and thus improve the management of postoperative pain.
