Blood transfusions in heart surgery: friend or foe for anemic patients?
NCT ID NCT07092683
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at over 13,000 adults who had heart surgery to understand how blood transfusions given during the operation might explain why patients with anemia before surgery are more likely to have complications afterward. The goal is to help doctors make better decisions about when to give transfusions and how to reduce risks for anemic patients. The study did not test a new treatment but instead analyzed existing data to find patterns.
