Blood Thinning During Bone Tumor Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a technique that thins your blood during surgery can help people having bone tumor removal. It may reduce the need for blood transfusions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are having scheduled surgery to remove a bone tumor.
- Your hemoglobin level is at least 11 g/dL (a measure of red blood cells).
- You are not having a tourniquet used during surgery.
- Your surgery is not just for pain relief or a very small procedure.

This trial tests a technique called 'acute normovolemic hemodilution' during bone tumor surgery. It involves temporarily thinning your blood by removing some red blood cells and replacing them with fluid, which may reduce the need for blood transfusions.
This trial tests a technique called acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) during bone cancer surgery. ANH involves removing some blood before surgery and replacing it with fluids, then giving the blood back after surgery to reduce the need for donor blood transfusions.
This trial is testing a special fluid called succinylated gelatin (a type of colloid) given during surgery to help maintain blood volume. It is for people having planned surgery lasting less than 6 hours and who are in generally good health, without major heart, liver, or kidney problems.
This trial tests if removing some blood before surgery and replacing it with fluids can reduce the need for transfusions in people with advanced ovarian cancer. It may help you have less blood loss during your operation.
This study is testing whether giving blood transfusions during surgery based on a certain hemoglobin level is safe and effective. It may help doctors decide the best time to transfuse during major surgery.
This trial tests whether giving blood transfusions sooner or later during surgery affects recovery for patients with low hemoglobin. It compares using a liberal (higher) threshold to give blood versus a more restrictive (lower) threshold.
