In the article entitled: "A primer on nerve agents: what the emergency responder, anesthesiologist, and intensivist needs to know" published in the October 2017 issue of the Journal, Can J Anesth 2017; 64: 1059-1070, two doses in Table 3 contained errors and have now been corrected (and highlighted in bold) in the revised table herein. In the table on page 1064, next to "Pralidoxime/Obidoxime/HI-6", the second column should read: "Pralidoxime- Mild cases: 1-2 g iv over 5-10 min or im". Also in the same row, the third column should read: "Individual doses should not exceed 2 g". The publisher apologizes most sincerely for this error.

Preoperative and postoperative anemia have been identified individually as potential risk factors for postoperative complications after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Their interrelationship with acute kidney injury (AKI) and long-term mortality, however, has not been clearly defined and was the purpose of this study. ⋯ Our findings suggest that preoperative anemia alone and preoperative anemia combined with postoperative anemia are associated with AKI and mortality after CABG surgery.
