Patient Blood Management Charité (PBM-Charité): Structured Detection, Differentiated Diagnostics and Therapy of Preoperative Anemia and Use of Machine Autotransfusion in Elective Interventions

Recruiting
Conditions
Anemia
Interventions
Other: BARMER anemia treatment
Other: NON-BARMER anemia treatment
Registration Number
NCT05146726
Lead Sponsor
Charite University, Berlin, Germany
Brief Summary

The aim of patient blood management is to reduce the risks of perioperative anemia- and transfusion-associated complications by limiting the use and the need for allogeneic blood transfusion.

Detailed Description

Background of this multimodal, multidisciplinary concept are numerous studies that have shown an association between preoperative anemia and/or a perioperative transfusion and a worse treatment outcome concerning morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis and therapy of preoperative anemia and the use of machine autotransfusion are central components of this integrated supply concept based on the S3 guideline "Präoperative Anämie", which need to be incorporated into the clinical processes.

Therefore, all patients undergoing elective surgery with a probability of transfusion \> 10% receive an anemia detection during their premedication visit. Patients who are insured with BARMER also get anemia diagnostic and therapy. Patients of other health insurances receive a recommendation to anemia diagnostics and therapy sent to surgical department. Based on an analysis of the primary and secondary endpoints of this prospective cohort study, the implementation of the mentioned guideline-compliant measures in everyday clinical practice and the effectiveness of an IV-PBM (Patient blood management) are to be examined. Thus, if necessary, other health insurances could join the patient blood management (PBM) IV concept. The aim is to provide evidence of an improved quality of treatment and the generalized application of PBM measures within the scope of the innovative PBM care form described.

GroupInterventionDescription
Prospective BARMER insured patientsBARMER anemia treatmentGroup I: BARMER insured patients with preoperative anemia and an elective (N5) surgical intervention with a probability of transfusion \> 10%. Central measures in this group are the IV contract for the creation of an organizational and financing structure for the guideline-compliant detection, diagnosis and treatment of preoperative anemia and the evaluation of the machine autotransfusion as part of the preoperative premedication visit in anesthesiology (implementation is the responsibility of the patient blood management (PBM) service).
Retrospective patients insured with another statutory health insurer than BARMERNON-BARMER anemia treatmentGroup II: Patients not insured with BARMER and with preoperative anemia and an elective (N5) surgical intervention with a probability of transfusion \> 10% and receive early anemia detection.
Primary Outcome Measures
