First seen Oct 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tested a new way to decide when to give blood transfusions during heart surgery. Instead of using a fixed hemoglobin level, doctors used a measure of oxygen in the blood (SvO2) to guide transfusions. The goal was to see if this approach could safely reduce the number of patients who need a transfusion. The trial involved 676 adults undergoing heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
