   Red Cell Storage Duration Study

   Location:

   Rochester, MN

   Trial status:

   Open for Enrollment

   Why is this study being done?

   The RECESS study will compare the effects of transfusing red blood cell units stored <= 10 days vs. red blood cell units stored >= 21 days, in patients who are undergoing complex cardiac surgery and are likely to need a red blood cell transfusion. The primary hypothesis is that there is a clinically important difference between the effects of shorter-storage red cell units and longer-storage red cell units on clinical outcomes and mortality risk.
