Thank you very much for these very interesting guidelines! In CHUV Lausanne, Switzerland, we don't test patients before craniostenosis surgery, but we definitively transfuse them too much. My simple question regarding this kind of surgery and patients: shouldn't we supplement them automatically with iron +/- EPO as we know they will be low in Hb at this age?
Thanks for your answer, and for your posts, we are fans!
