In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The purpose of this research study is to compare two methods of recovering blood from surgical sponges used during heart and lung surgeries. The two methods are: 1) manually wringing sponges by hand, and 2) automated wringing sponges by an FDA approved suction device. Both methods are already in use in heart and lung surgeries at University Hospitals at the discretion of the surgeon.
