Blood management trial for heart surgery patients
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments (prothrombin complex concentrate and fresh frozen plasma) for managing bleeding during heart surgery. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer for patients.

This trial tests two medicines—ACT (a blood thinner) and tranexamic acid (a medicine to reduce bleeding)—to see which is better at controlling bleeding during heart surgery. It is for adults having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This trial tests whether giving back a patient's own platelets and red blood cells during heart surgery can reduce bleeding and the need for donor blood transfusions. It is for people having certain types of high-risk heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This trial compares two treatments for bleeding after heart surgery: a medicine called FEIBA (which helps blood clot) and fresh frozen plasma (a blood product). The goal is to see which works better as a first treatment for bleeding during recovery.
This trial tests a method to control bleeding during open heart surgery. It may help you if you are planning to have this surgery.
