The Effect of Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution on Intraoperative Allogeneic Transfusion in Bone Tumor Surgery: a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial
The prevention of intraoperative allogenetic blood transfusion has the potential to reduce complications, hospital stays, and long-term prognosis in patients undergoing bone tumor surgery. Data from previous studies suggest that the clinical efficacy of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) has always been controversial, and intraoperative fluid administration strategy is an important confounding factor. The HEAL trial will assess whether ANH will reduce the volume of intraoperative allogeneic red blood cell transfusion when applying goal-directed fluid therapy in patients undergoing bone tumor surgery.
