Albumin Utilization in Adult Cardiac Surgical Patients : A Multicentre Prospective Cohort Study (NCT06395480)

Albumin Utilization for Intravascular Volume Replacement in Adult Cardiac Surgical Patients : A Multicentre Prospective Cohort Study

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Interventional Protocol ๐Ÿ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: University Health Network, Toronto

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of our proposed multicentre prospective cohort study is to characterize perioperative usage patterns of crystalloids and albumin, as well as key patient outcomes, in cardiac surgical patients. Results obtained from this observational study will be combined with the results of other studies to clarify the optimal role of albumin and other blood products in the perioperative management of cardiac surgical patients. This study will also address numerous other knowledge gaps in the area of perioperative blood product management and fluid administration in cardiac surgery and define a collaborative group to support future research in this field.
