First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study looks at two methods for recovering blood from sponges used in heart and lung surgeries: manually wringing them out versus using an FDA-approved automated suction device. Researchers will measure how much blood is recovered and how healthy the red blood cells remain. The goal is to find out which method works better for returning blood to patients.
