Blood use during heart surgery in younger adults
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how much donated blood (blood products) is needed for younger adults during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It may help doctors choose safer, more appropriate blood-saving plans for people like you.

This study is testing whether giving blood transfusions during surgery based on a certain hemoglobin level is safe and effective. It may help doctors decide the best time to transfuse during major surgery.
This trial tests whether collecting and re-infusing your own blood during heart surgery reduces the need for donor blood transfusions. It's for adults having planned bypass surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This trial studies giving a “fresh” blood transfusion from your own blood after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It may help patients avoid needing donated blood, but it only works for people who meet specific safety and timing requirements.
This trial studies blood transfusion practices during planned heart valve surgery. It aims to find the best way to use blood transfusions to improve recovery after surgery.
