Brief Summary
The prevention of perioperative anemia has the potential to reduce complications, hospital stays, and long-term prognosis in patients undergoing bone tumor surgery. Data from previous studies suggest that the clinical efficacy of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) has always been controversial, and intraoperative fluid administration strategy is an important confounding factor. The HEAL trial will assess whether ANH will improve postoperative hemoglobin levels when applying goal-directed fluid therapy in patients undergoing bone tumor surgery.

Study Arms (2)
acute normovolemic hemodilution group (ANH group)
EXPERIMENTALThe ANH process was initiated after tracheal intubation. After completion of ANH, goal-directed fluid therapy will begin until the end of the surgery.
Standard Group (STD group)
NO INTERVENTIONAfter tracheal intubation, goal-directed fluid therapy will be implemented until the end of the surgery.
Interventions
The 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.
