INTRAVENOUS IRON
One underappreciated advantage of single-dose IV iron:
It’s not just convenience.
If a patient needs 1 g of iron, giving it as iron sucrose 200 mg × 5 creates 5 separate infusion exposures.

"Informed Patients, Improved Outcomes." Care of Blood Health is a partnership between a patient and their surgical team. Patients have the right to ask, "What is the plan to protect my blood during surgery?".

Before surgery, your blood health matters. 🩸
PBM means planning ahead with your doctor — addressing anaemia, iron, and recovery before the operation.
Protect it. Optimise it. Manage it.
