Heart surgery fluid mystery: albumin or not?

NCT ID NCT06322537

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study reviewed the records of 505 adults who had heart surgery to understand how doctors give fluids (crystalloids and albumin) during the procedure. Albumin is a costly blood product with limited supply, and its use varies widely. The goal was to describe current practices and key patient outcomes, without testing a new treatment.
