New method could reduce risky blood transfusions after heart operations
NCT ID NCT02963883
Summary
This study tested whether using a personalized measurement of how much oxygen is in a patient's blood (called ScvO2) is better than using a standard hemoglobin number to decide when to give blood transfusions after heart surgery. The goal was to see if this personalized approach could reduce unnecessary transfusions and lower the risk of serious complications like lung problems, heart attacks, or kidney failure. Researchers compared the two methods in 160 adults who had planned heart surgery.
