This study is looking at ways to reduce bleeding after heart surgery (cardiac surgery) that uses a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass). It compares two approaches: receiving your own fresh whole blood (Fresh Autologous whole Blood) collected before surgery, or the usual care for bleeding, which might include transfusions of banked blood products. The study aims to see if using your own fresh blood can reduce the amount of blood lost within 24 hours after surgery. You could join if you are between 18 and 90 years old, are having elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, and are willing to receive blood transfusions. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
