Study of a blood volume expander for adults having planned surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests a solution called succinylated gelatin, given during surgery to maintain blood volume. It aims to see if it is effective and safe for adults having planned operations that last less than six hours.

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 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 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 personalized approach to managing your own blood during surgery, which may reduce the need for donor blood transfusions. It is for people having planned non-cardiac surgery expected to need a large amount of blood.
This trial tests whether using a heart ultrasound before surgery can help doctors better manage your blood volume. If you are having surgery under general anesthesia and have a higher risk of heart problems, this study may help improve your safety.
This study looks at whether a mild dilution of your blood before heart surgery affects how well your blood clots. It may help doctors manage bleeding risks during surgery.
