Reducing blood transfusions during major liver surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to reduce the need for blood transfusions during major liver surgery. It uses a technique to carefully manage blood loss, which may help you avoid needing donor blood.
