First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how surgeons at one hospital in Milan choose hemostatic agents—medicines that help stop bleeding during heart and blood vessel surgery. Researchers will survey surgeons about their knowledge and compare it to a review of hospital records to see if actual use matches best-practice guidelines. The goal is to find gaps and opportunities to improve care and reduce waste.
