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 tests whether giving blood transfusions based on each patient's needs during and after heart surgery is safe and effective. It compares different transfusion thresholds to see which works better.
This study looks at how blood cells change during heart surgery and whether these changes affect bleeding or inflammation after the operation. It may help doctors predict and manage complications in people having heart surgery.
This trial is testing whether giving iron plus vitamin C before heart surgery can reduce the need for blood transfusions. It is for people with low iron and anemia who are scheduled for bypass or valve surgery.
This study looks at how managing blood products during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine affects the risk of red blood cell breakdown in children. The goal is to find safer ways to handle blood during these procedures.
This study compares two different blood transfusion strategies during major surgery to see which is safer and more effective. If you are having major surgery and might need a blood transfusion, this trial could help guide how your doctors manage your blood levels.
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.
