CardioSideral Heart Surgery: Randomized Study on Sucrosomial Iron Supplementation Before Heart Surgery

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.
