Blood Sparing Strategies: Omni-stat Routinary Use in Cardiac Surgery. A Prospective Randomized Study.

February 19, 2012 updated by: Luca Weltert, Cardiochirurgia E.H.

The study enrolles all consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery at the European Hospital, Rome. The population undergoes randomization to receive usual surgical hemostasis or added topical application of Omni-stat Celox.

The two populations are followed up prospectively as regarding blood loss and need for blood transfusions, as well as adverse events at 30 days after surgery.
