High-dose iron injections that can replenish up to 1000mg of iron in at least 15 minutes per day are used to treat iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia, as well as women at high risk of iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia or chronic bleeding patients, as well as iron deficiency anemia caused by various surgeries and chemotherapy.
The symposium, which was held at Nest Hotel in Jung-gu, Incheon for two days from the 30th of last month, was attended by orthopedic and neurosurgeon specialists in the spinal and knee joints.
On the 30th, the first day, Park Sang-hoon, a professor of orthopedic surgery at the National Health Insurance Ilsan Hospital, gave a lecture on the theme of 「Iron Deficiency Management for Optimization of Treatment Results for Patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).」 Professor Park said "The total knee arthroplasty is one of the bleeding surgeries and often treats anemia and iron deficiencies with blood transfusions."However, blood transfusions are also associated with several negative prognoses, so they should be approached carefully" It is important to systematically diagnose and manage iron deficiency and anemia before and after surgery, he said. "Perinject has accumulated evidence to prove a significant effect in the treatment of iron deficiency before and after surgery, and studies that have significantly lowered the blood transfusion rate have also been reported."
Cho Jae-ho, director of the Right Seoul Hospital, said in a lecture on the theme of 'Iron Management and Blood Transfusion Appropriateness Assessment of Patients Before and After Surgery'The ongoing third blood transfusion adequacy assessment includes knee joint replacement surgery and spinal fixation surgery with high amount of bleeding' and 'As unnecessary blood transfusions are still performed, proper blood transfusion and accurate diagnosis and management of iron deficiency are important'
On the second day, Park Jong-hoon, a professor of orthopedic surgery at Korea University Anam Hospital, gave a lecture on the paradigm shift in the concept of patient blood management (PBM), emphasizing the importance of treatment reflecting the spirit of the times. Professor Park said "The goal of correcting anemia before surgery is a strategy to avoid transfusion of surgical water" and "Even in actual clinical practice, hemoglobin (Hb) levels in surgical patients improved after administration of ferrinject"
Meanwhile, JW Pharmaceutical plans to strengthen its marketing activities to standardize iron deficiency management in the surgical field with a high risk of bleeding.
A JW Pharmaceutical official said "Patient blood management is a global standard for improving safety and treatment efficiency."We plan to expand our marketing activities as Perrinject provides a treatment option to replenish iron in a short period of time"
