MP4OX (oxygenated polyethylene glycol-modified hemoglobin) is an oxygen therapeutic agent with potential applications in clinical settings where targeted delivery of oxygen to ischemic tissues is required. The primary goal of this study was to investigate MP4OX for preventing hypotensive episodes. An additional goal was to establish the safety profile of MP4OX in a large surgical population.
