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.

Treatments tested in this trial
acute normovolemic hemodilution
Procedure/SurgeryThe ANH was conducted with more than 8 ml/kg of whole blood drawn from an internal jugular introducer by gravity and collected into standard sterile blood storage bags containing citrate phosphate-dextrose anticoagulant. The allowable blood loss was capped according to the preoperative hemoglobin, estimated blood volume, and the target hemoglobin (10 g/dL). The collected blood was simultaneously replaced by an equal volume of succinyl gelatin solution via at least one large bore peripheralvenous catheter to maintain hemodynamic stability.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Intraoperative allogeneic red blood cell transfusion volume
The volume of allogeneic red blood cell transfusions during the intraoperative period. Between-group comparisons were performed using student t tests for normally distributed data, and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests otherwise.
Secondary outcomes
The rate of perioperative transfusion of allogeneic blood products
This includes blood products such as plasma and platelets, erythrocytes
The blood loss during the perioperative period
The volume of blood loss
The volume of fluid administration during the intraoperative period
This includes intraoperative crystalloid infusion volume and intraoperative colliod infusion volume
The coagulation function tests during the perioperative period
This includes thromboelastography result
