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 method called acute normovolemic hemodilution, where some blood is removed before surgery and replaced with fluids, then given back to you after surgery. It may reduce the need for donor blood transfusions during bone cancer surgery.
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 study looks at a customized blood-pressure and fluid strategy to help patients during laparoscopic liver tumor removal. It may help reduce complications related to blood loss and organ stress during surgery.
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 tests a new way to manage blood during surgery, which may reduce the need for donor blood transfusions. It compares standard care with a method that uses your own blood and a special device to monitor your blood flow.
