HemOx transfusion trial for planned surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to manage blood transfusions during planned surgeries. It may help if you are likely to need a transfusion during an elective operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are scheduled for a planned surgery that may need a blood transfusion
- You do not have a known blood disorder affecting hemoglobin
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding (if applicable)
- Your hemoglobin level is normal (above 11 mg/dL for women, above 12 mg/dL for men)
- You do not have any condition that prevents using a special blood-saving device during surgery

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 study tests whether a personalized plan for when to give blood transfusions works better than the usual approach in people having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to find a safer and more effective way to manage transfusions during recovery.
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 study looks at how hospitals manage your blood during and after planned surgeries that have a moderate to high risk of bleeding. It aims to find better ways to reduce blood loss and the need for transfusions.
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.
This study looks at how managing blood products during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine affects the risk of red blood cell breakdown in children. The goal is to find safer ways to handle blood during these procedures.
