This study compares two types of fluids—one made from donated human blood plasma and one a standard salt-solution—given during scoliosis surgery in children and teenagers. The goal is to see which fluid helps patients recover safely and with fewer complications.
This study tests whether giving an iron infusion after heart surgery can prevent long-term anemia (low blood counts). It aims to help patients recover better and avoid needing blood transfusions later.
