Heart ultrasound after blood transfusion in emergency patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound (echocardiogram) to see how a blood transfusion affects heart function in people with low red blood cells (anemia) in the emergency room.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be getting a red blood cell transfusion.
- You must be able to give your consent (or have someone who can).
- You must have health insurance or social protection.
- You must not have received more than 500 mL of IV fluids recently.
- You must not have had a blood transfusion in the last hour.

This study looks at adults who come to the emergency department with low blood counts (anemia) that are not severe or life-threatening. It aims to better understand the causes of this condition so doctors can improve care.
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 trial tests whether giving more or fewer red blood cell transfusions is better for adult patients on ECMO (a machine that helps your heart and lungs work). The goal is to find the best transfusion approach to improve outcomes.
This study uses a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) to see how the heart changes when healthy volunteers donate blood. If you're a healthy adult who can donate blood, you may help researchers understand more about blood donation's effect on the heart.
This study checks whether a specific heart ultrasound measurement can help doctors decide if you will benefit from extra fluid during early emergency treatment for shock. It may help avoid unnecessary fluids and support faster, safer decision-making.
This study uses focused heart ultrasound to help doctors make better treatment decisions for critically ill children in the ICU. It may help improve care by giving real-time information about the heart's function.
