Fresh Autologous Whole Blood Transfusion After Cardiopulmonary Bypass (NCT03204357)
Targeted Fresh Autologous Whole Blood Transfusion After Cardiopulmonary Bypass: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Autologous blood transfused at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass will reduce total blood loss 24 hours after surgery and improve mitochondrial oxygen delivery measured by plasma succinate levels. The study design is a prospective randomized interventional trial of transfusion of fresh autologous whole blood versus standard of care expectant management of bleeding during elective cardiac surgery.
