Comparing two blood tests for bleeding during high-risk surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two bedside blood tests that help doctors manage bleeding during surgery. If you're having a major surgery with a high risk of heavy bleeding, these tests may help your doctors make faster treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be scheduled for major surgery that has a high chance of heavy bleeding or blood-clotting problems, like heart surgery, joint replacement, spine surgery, liver surgery, or prostate removal.
- You must sign a consent form agreeing to take part in the study.
- You cannot be pregnant at the time of the study.
- You must be able to follow the study plan, including having one of the two blood tests done during the surgery.

This study tests a new blood test that measures how well your blood forms clots. It aims to see if this test can predict bleeding after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine, which might help doctors manage bleeding better.
This trial tests whether a newer, faster blood test (viscoelastic testing) can better guide treatment for bleeding after a severe injury compared to standard blood tests. If you are in the emergency room shortly after a serious trauma, this study may help doctors decide the right treatments to stop bleeding more quickly.
This study tests a special patch called TachoSil against a standard surgical pad (Surgicel) to see which works better for controlling minor oozing during open abdominal, chest, or pelvic surgeries. It may be an option if you are having certain types of surgery and have a small area of mild bleeding that needs help to stop.
This study looks at how hospitals manage your blood during and after planned surgeries that have a moderate to high risk of bleeding. It aims to find better ways to reduce blood loss and the need for transfusions.
This study looks at whether a special blood test called TEG can help doctors manage bleeding during major surgeries in children. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions by guiding treatment more precisely.
This trial is testing if a special blood test called ROTEM can help doctors predict the risk of bleeding after high-risk procedures in people with cirrhosis. It aims to improve safety and guide treatment decisions.
