Comparing two clot tests during high-bleeding-risk surgeries
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two methods of testing blood clotting during surgery. The goal is to see which helps doctors diagnose bleeding problems faster in patients having high-risk surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery that may cause moderate to heavy bleeding, like heart, joint, liver, or prostate surgery.
- You are able to give written permission to take part in the study.
- Your doctor believes that a special blood test during your surgery might be needed to check how well your blood clots.

This study looks at how a special blood test done during heart surgery relates to patient outcomes. The test is done at the bedside (point-of-care) to measure how well the blood clots. The study is a retrospective chart review, meaning researchers will look back at medical records of patients who had this test during their heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This study tests a new blood test that measures how well your platelets (clotting cells) work to predict if you might bleed more after heart surgery. The goal is to catch bleeding problems early and help doctors manage them better.
This trial compares two tests (ROTEM and TEG) that help doctors decide which blood products to give to cirrhosis patients with active stomach or intestinal bleeding that is not from varices. The goal is to find which test works better.
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 trial compares two types of blood tests (a new quick test vs. standard tests) to see which helps doctors better manage bleeding after a severe injury. It is for adults with serious trauma who may have a blood clotting problem.
This study looks at blood “clotting-lean vs clot-dissolving” balance measured in tiny blood particles to predict clot problems after knee replacement. It may help doctors better identify who is at higher risk for blood clots after surgery.
