Iron infusion before surgery aims to cut risks and hospital time
NCT ID NCT02632760
Summary
This study tested if giving an intravenous (IV) iron infusion to anemic patients in the weeks before their scheduled heart surgery could safely correct their low blood count. The goal was to see if this treatment reduced the need for blood transfusions during surgery and helped patients recover faster with fewer complications. Researchers compared the IV iron treatment against a placebo (inactive solution) in nearly 1,000 patients.
