Snippet: For the last decade, intravenous (i.v.) iron to treat anaemia before surgery has been a key pillar of patient blood management. Recognising the associations between pre-operative anaemia and poor postoperative outcome, it was postulated that treatment of anaemia with iron (particularly in the setting of iron deficiency) would reduce the requirement for allogeneic red blood cell transfusion and improve postoperative outcomes. Accordingly, these recommendations were incorporated into national guid
