In this Pro-Con commentary article, we discuss whether anesthesiologists should be responsible for treating preoperative anemia. This debate was proposed based on the article published in this issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia by Warner et al, which is an advisory on managing preoperative anemia endorsed by both the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists and the Society for Advancement of Patient Blood Management. All evidence suggests that anemia is not just an innocent "bystander" which can be solved by transfusion. In fact, both anemia and transfusion are independently associated with adverse outcomes, so why not avoid both? It just makes sense that patients show up for surgery with enough red blood cells to avoid needing transfusion with someone else's. Even if we agree that preoperative anemia is worth treating before surgery, the question remains who should be responsible for doing so, and therein lies the reason for this Pro-Con debate. Should it be the responsibility of the anesthesiologist, or not? Let the readers decide.

The principles of an escalation culture have been used successfully in other highly reliable industries such as aviation, military, and manufacturing. We discuss here the introduction of a unique and compelling thought-process for developing an intraoperative escalation protocol that is specifically tailored for our institution. Inspired by a critical intraoperative event, this departmental protocol was developed based on an analysis of multispecialty literature and expert opinion to decrease the incidence of SSEs. It includes a stepwise approach and incorporates patient-specific information to guide team members who encounter dynamic clinical situations. The implementation of the protocol has facilitated continuous quality improvement through iterative education, improving communication, and enhancing decision-making.

BACKGROUNDThe estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO) system is a hemodynamic monitor that uses electrocardiograms and pulse oximeter waves to noninvasively estimate cardiac output. The coefficients for esCCO measurement have been established for adult patients, but the appropriate coefficients for pediatric patients are unclear. Therefore, this study determined esCCO coefficients for pediatric patients and validated the accuracy and tracking ability of a modified esCCO system.METHODSAn initial study compared cardiac output measurements using transthoracic echocardiography and esCCO in 60 pediatric patients aged <15 years who underwent elective noncardiac surgery. Consequently, the coefficients for the esCCO measurements were redefined for pediatric patients. The main study compared cardiac output measurements between transthoracic echocardiography and modified esCCO in 80 pediatric patients. Measurements were performed pre- and postoperatively, and the accuracy and trending ability of the cardiac output measurements were evaluated using Bland-Altman analysis and a polar plot.RESULTSThe correlation coefficients between the modified esCCO and transthoracic echocardiography were 0.96 and 0.98 in the pre- and postoperative measurements, respectively. In Bland-Altman analysis, the bias (standard deviation [SD]), 95% limits of agreement, and percentage error were 0.03 (0.28), -0.53 to 0.60, and 18% in the preoperative measurement, and -0.04 (0.19), -0.42 to 0.35, and 15% in the postoperative measurement, respectively. The polar plot showed that the cardiac output changes were well tracked, with an angular bias (SD) of 2.9° (6.0°) and radial 95% limits of agreement ranging from -9.2° to 14.9°.CONCLUSIONSCardiac output measurement by esCCO with modified coefficients for pediatric patients showed high accuracy and tracking ability compared with cardiac output measurement by transthoracic echocardiography. This noninvasive cardiac output measurement could benefit perioperative hemodynamic monitoring in children.
