Patient Blood Management in Patients Scheduled for Cardiac Surgery
Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS
Summary
The ICARUS 2 study has the general objective of collecting data in patients undergoing cardiac surgery; in our centre, in order to optimize and improve hemoglobin values, a team of haematologists, assisted by cardio anesthetists and cardiac surgeons, will evaluate the blood tests of patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery in order to correct any states of hypoferritinemia (low iron in the blood) to promote recovery from blood losses related to cardiac surgery. This objective is strongly encouraged by the good use of blood programs currently in force at our foundation. In particular, the research presented here intends to demonstrate a reduction in the number of intra- and post-operative transfusions.
