Use a pre-surgery plan to treat anemia before an operation
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether following a hospital guideline to treat anemia before surgery helps patients have better pre-op care. You may be eligible if you have anemia found during a pre-anesthesia clinic visit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You attend a pre-anesthesia (pre-surgery) clinic visit
- You have anemia based on your blood test (hemoglobin)
- If you have chronic kidney disease stage 3 or higher, or a blood/hematology disease: hemoglobin must be under 10 g/dL
- If you don’t have kidney disease stage 3+ or a hematology disease: hemoglobin must be under 13 g/dL for men or under 12 g/dL for women
- No special exclusions were listed

This study looks at how different levels and types of anemia (low red blood cells) before planned surgery affect your recovery. If you have anemia and are having a moderate- to high-risk surgery (not brain or heart), you may be able to join to help doctors learn how to better prepare patients for surgery.
This study looks at whether having anemia (low red blood cells) before cancer surgery is linked to a higher risk of death. It may help find patients who need extra care before their operation.
This study looks at how to detect and treat pre-surgery anemia (low hemoglobin/low blood level) in people having planned operations where blood transfusion is likely. Some participants may also use a machine that collects and returns their own blood during surgery to reduce the need for donor blood.
This trial tests whether giving iron (iron sucrose) can reduce anemia during chemotherapy before curative surgery. It may help you feel better and have smoother treatment by improving low blood counts caused by iron deficiency.
This trial studies a program to manage blood levels before, during, and after heart surgery. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions and improve recovery.
This trial tests a blood management strategy to help people with anemia who are having coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). If you qualify, you may receive a treatment to improve your blood counts before surgery, which could reduce the need for transfusions.
