5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This randomized, single blind (Outcomes Assessor), non-profit study is aimed at verifying whether routine preoperative supplementation with Sucrosomial® Iron in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery may increase baseline haemoglobin, constrain the haemoglobin decrease between postoperative day 2 and 3 (haemoglobin drift), and reduce the postoperative transfusion requirements, in order to identify a new strategy for pre-hospitalization optimization and post-operative recovery.
Detailed Description
This randomized, single blind (Outcomes Assessor), non-profit study is aimed at verifying whether routine preoperative supplementation with Sucrosomial® Iron in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery may increase baseline haemoglobin, constrain the haemoglobin decrease between postoperative day 2 and 3 (haemoglobin drift), and reduce the postoperative transfusion requirements, in order to identify a new strategy for pre-hospitalization optimization and post-operative recovery.
Secondary Objectives are
Changes in blood chemistry and biochemical tests between pre- and post-intervention
Evaluation of tolerability and compliance of supplementation with Sucrosomal Iron
Reduction in the number of transfusions and blood bags used
Evaluation of cost-effectiveness
