Nutrition support before heart surgery for anemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether improving nutrition before open-heart surgery helps patients with mild anemia. It aims to see if better nutrition reduces complications and improves recovery after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are scheduled for elective open-heart surgery (bypass surgery) with a waiting period of 8-12 weeks before the operation.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a program to manage blood levels before, during, and after heart surgery. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions and improve recovery.
This trial is testing whether giving iron plus vitamin C before heart surgery can reduce the need for blood transfusions. It is for people with low iron and anemia who are scheduled for bypass or valve surgery.
This study looks at long-term results of giving iron before major heart surgery to people with low iron levels. It aims to see if this treatment helps recovery and outcomes.
This trial tests a combined treatment plan to improve anemia (low blood count/iron levels) before and around the time of major elective heart surgery. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions and support safer recovery.
This study tests whether giving an iron infusion after heart surgery can prevent long-term anemia (low blood counts). It aims to help patients recover better and avoid needing blood transfusions later.
This study looks at how different levels and types of anemia (low red blood cells) before planned surgery affect your recovery. If you have anemia and are having a moderate- to high-risk surgery (not brain or heart), you may be able to join to help doctors learn how to better prepare patients for surgery.
