Using Quantra to Guide Transfusions During Liver Transplant
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special tool called Quantra, which helps doctors decide when to give blood products during your liver transplant. The goal is to make sure you get just the right amount of transfusions, which could improve your safety and recovery.
