About this trial

The prevention of intraoperative allogenetic blood transfusion has the potential to reduce complications, hospital stays, and long-term prognosis in patients undergoing bone cancer surgery. Data from previous studies suggest that the clinical efficacy of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) has always been controversial. The HEAL trial will assess whether ANH will reduce the volume of intraoperative allogeneic red blood cell transfusion in patients undergoing bone cancer surgery.
