Asymptomatic hypertension
The current evidence base suggests that intensive treatment of asymptomatic hypertension in noncardiac inpatients is likely to do more harm than good. See e.g. Anderson TS et al. JAMA Internal Medicine 2023;183(7):715–23.
Consent for iron infusion
Consent for Iron Infusion
Y Li (Intern)
Discussion with the patient regarding proposed [iron polymaltose/ferric carboxymaltose] infusion for [iron deficiency anaemia/iron deficiency/low iron stores] (Hb _, ferritin _). Procedure was discussed.
Oral replacement is not preferred as duration is longer and gastrointestinal side effects are frequent.
Discussed risks of bleeding, infection, allergy including anaphylaxis, iron leak including permanent staining, chest pain/fever/GI upset/malaise.
All questions answered.
Pt verbally consented for infusion.
