However, many studies have indicated that cancer patients who are transfused have higher rates of perioperative mortality and cancer recurrence, and poorer prognoses [1]. Moreover, viral or bacterial infections, immunologic reactions, and increased postoperative morbidity are other adverse consequences of allogeneic transfusions. Furthermore, since there are not enough blood donors in Korea to supply the demand, new treatment strategies for HBP patients are needed. Patient blood management (PBM) programs, medical care without allogeneic blood transfusion, have traditionally been applied in various clinical situations, e.g., when patients refuse to be transfused for religious reasons, when there is no blood to transfuse, and when safe blood is not available [2]. Although PBM is a relatively new technology in the field of HBP surgery, its general concepts are very similar to those of traditional PBM. The basic concepts of PBM applicable to the perioperative and intraoperative method have recently been described. Erythropoietin, ferritin, vitamin B12, or volume expanders and preoperative autologous blood donation (PAD) are used in perioperative PBM. Intraoperative management includes acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH), cell salvage (Cell Saver®), and hypotensive anesthesia. Although the disadvantages of transfusion and the advantages of PBM are widely recognized, few studies have evaluated the beneficial effects of PBM in HBP surgery. Although the use of PBM in HBP operations without transfusion (including pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary lesions, living donor liver transplantation, and major hepatectomy) has been reported in the past few years, it is inherently challenging to carry out researches on transfusion-related issues because reasons and sequelae of transfusion are multifactorial [3-6]. The goal of this article is to review the current status of PBM programs in HBP surgery.

But, it is anticipated that blood transfusion products will be lacking in Korea in the near future. This is due to the fact that eligible blood donors—the young population—are decreasing, whereas blood recipients—the elderly population—are increasing. Low birth rate and aging society have become big social problems in Korea recently. Korea’s birth rate is the lowest among OECD countries, which is 1.17 in 2016 [1]. The elderly population aged 65 or older is 13.8% in 2017 and it is expected to be over 20% in 2026, becoming a super-aged society. Aging populations present higher risks of malignancies and chronic diseases; and are more likely to require complex surgical interventions [2]. If unnecessary blood transfusions are to be decreased, we would be able to prevent waste of precious blood resources and to save significant amount of healthcare costs [3]. In Australia, the NBA estimated that a 5% reduction in RBC use would result in a national saving of AUD14.6 million [4]. Beyond the economic savings, this also means ameliorating blood transfusion related risks to the patients. Blood transfusion is still not free of the risks of complications such as infection and immunomodulation, although they are dramatically decreased through the advances in transfusion medicine. Furthermore, this is providing the best care to the patients because it is now well known that transfusion may lead to poorer patient outcomes, such as survival rates [5-7]. So, increasing the adequacy of blood transfusion is the strategy for not only preventing wastage of precious blood resources and blood shortage, but also providing patients with the best treatments by decreasing risk of complications.","PeriodicalId":345710,"journal":{"name":"Hanyang Medical Reviews","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126553431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transfusion is a very efficient and effective method to correct anemia, but there has been increasing evidence that blood transfusion does not lead to improved outcomes and that morbidity and mortality increase in a dose-dependent manner [1,2]. It has been shown that even a single unit of transfused packed red blood cells (PRBCs) can increase 30day mortality, complicated mortality, pneumonia and sepsis [3]. Therefore, it is preferable to avoid unnecessary blood transfusion or to minimize blood transfusion. In surgical patients, patient blood management focuses on anemia management, minimization of blood loss, appropriate transfusion for reducing surgical risk, and improving patient outcome after surgery. Recognition and management of pre-operative anemia represent an opportunity to optimize patient status before surgery, thereby reducing blood transfusion and potentially improving recovery from surgery and associated postoperative outcomes. A complex approach such as anesthetic strategy and operative techniques, pharmacological intervention, and cell salvage is required to reduce bleeding during surgery. In this review, we reviewed the studies about blood management in the stance of anesthesiologists.

Furthermore, there is a serious issue related to perioperative anemia. The significance of managing perioperative anemia is particularly underestimated, and medical professionals use blood transfusions indiscriminately to rapidly return hemoglobin (Hb) levels to normal [2,3]. PBM is a group of multi-disciplinary protocols under the concept of 3 pillars that are applied to a patient’s clinical course (before, during and after the operation): optimizing red blood cells (RBCs) production, reducing bleeding, and harnessing the tolerance of anemia [1,4].

Especially, as the application of various techniques developed for natural images to medical images is being accelerated, we are no longer simply adapting the natural image models to medical images but developing new methods, which encompasses the unique characteristics of the medical image domain. Furthermore, as the research on interpretability of decisions made by deep learning models and the way of incorporating clinical knowledge into the model progresses, we have started to obtain promising results that will allow clinical implementation of deep learning. Among various deep learning models, convolutional neural networks (CNN) have become methodology of choice for visual recognition problems. CNN is a type of feed-forward artificial neural network, which learns hierarchical features by iterating convolution and pooling layers until the output prediction layer is reached. While the convolution layers learn specific patterns in the input or intermediate feature map with locally-connected shared weights, pooling layers reduce the feature map by spatially aggregating activations.

AI can be categorized into symbolic AI such as expert systems and machine learning (ML), which includes deep learning. Technically, recently mentioned AI refers to ML or deep learning. Deep learning, which is inspired by biological neurons, is a subcategory of machine learning algorithms [5]. Machine learning (including deep learning) requires a large amount of training data to improve performance. Therefore, to implement a good healthcare AI system, we need a vast amount of healthcare data. Many people believe there is a large amount of data in hospitals based on the wide adaptation of electronic medical records (EMR). They mentioned that the adoption rate of EMR in the United States was dramatically increased to 97% after the introduction of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act [6] and the adoption rate of EMR in Korea is more than 92%. Nearly all hospitals in Korea also use the computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system. However, the EMR adoption rate is only 58.1%, and the fully comprehensive EMR adoption rate has dropped to 11.6% [7]. This implies a lack of digitalized data for healthcare AI research in Korea. Even though there is a large amount of data, having only a large quantity of data based on big data concepts may fail to achieve an applicable healthcare AI system. We need well-curated and labeled data. For example, 54 US licensed ophthalmologists and ophthalmology senior residents have reviewed 128,175 retinal images to build a well-curated dataset [3]. Current digitalized medical records require more in-depth curation to be used for research. Moreover, to realize precision medicine with the aid of AI methods, we need many new healthcare data types including genome and wearable data.

Even there was a research about screening performance of CAD reporting that sensitivity was significantly decreased for mammograms interpreted with vs without CAD in the subset of radiologists who interpreted both with and without CAD (odds ratio, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.29-0.97) [2].
