Effect of Blood Management in Bone Tumor Surgery

A Substudy of the Effect of Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution in Bone Tumor Surgery

NA · Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University · NCT06881498

This study is testing if a blood management technique called acute normovolemic hemodilution can help people having bone tumor surgery avoid anemia and its complications.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the impact of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) on postoperative hemoglobin levels in patients undergoing elective bone tumor resection surgery. It aims to determine if ANH, when combined with goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT), can reduce the risk of perioperative anemia and its associated complications. The trial is designed as a randomized, controlled trial to provide robust data on the efficacy of this blood management strategy in a high-risk surgical setting.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 who are scheduled for elective bone tumor resection surgery with a preoperative hemoglobin level of at least 11 g/dL.

Not a fit: Patients who are undergoing palliative operations, have significant comorbidities, or are outside the specified age and hemoglobin criteria may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce postoperative complications and improve long-term outcomes for patients undergoing bone tumor surgery.

How similar studies have performed: While the efficacy of acute normovolemic hemodilution has been debated, this study's focus on its application within goal-directed fluid therapy is a novel approach that has not been extensively tested.
