Testing a bedside blood clot test in children
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial checks whether a bedside machine (TEG 6s) can measure blood clotting in children during planned surgery. It may help doctors get faster, more accurate information about clotting during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Have surgery planned in the operating room
- Do not have a known blood clotting disorder
- Do not receive medicines that can change blood clotting

This trial looks at using a blood-clotting test called TEG during certain surgeries in children where bleeding is likely. The goal is to see whether this test helps doctors better manage transfusions (blood or blood products) during and after the operation.
This study is for children who are having surgery or a procedure with anesthesia. It tests a new device that checks how well their blood clots, to help find normal ranges for kids of different ages.
This trial tests whether a special blood clotting test called thromboelastography can help assess clotting problems after a head injury. It may help doctors better understand bleeding risk and related complications early after trauma.
This study tests a new device called Quantra QPlus that quickly measures how well a child's blood clots during or after heart surgery. It may help doctors manage bleeding and blood-clotting problems more effectively in children.
This trial tests a method to control bleeding during open heart surgery. It may help you if you are planning to have this surgery.
This study looks at how cancer and surgery affect blood clotting. It may help doctors understand and prevent blood clots in patients having surgery for certain cancers.
