Anemia and transfusion therapy: an update 2011-12-31 .txt text/plain 6500 429 45 34, 38 The therapeutic possibilities in relation to anemia in the critical patient (analyzed more in detail below) can be grouped as follows: ABT; drug treatment (erythropoietic stimulators, iron therapy, antifibrinolytic / hemostatic agents); autologous blood donation and/or reinfusion programs; and restrictive and individualized transfusion criteria. 16 The EORTC (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer) and SEOM (Spanish Society of Clinical Oncology) guides on the use of ESAs in anemia in neoplastic patients confirm their efficacy in increasing the hemoglobin levels, reducing the need for transfusions (by up to 50%) and improving patient quality of life, though without consistent data confirming improvement in patient survival, local tumor control, time to disease progression or disease-free interval. evidenced a tendency towards lessened transfusion needs, inflammatory response and mortality in critical patients with anemia administered intravenous iron saccharose (alone or combined with ESAs). ./cache/cord-350718-jzliir37.txt ./txt/cord-350718-jzliir37.txt
