Summary
This study looked at ways to reduce the need for blood transfusions in patients having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The researchers tested two approaches: improving how doctors decide when to transfuse, and giving iron and vitamins before and after surgery to fix deficiencies. The goal was to lower the risks linked to transfusions, such as infections and heart problems.
