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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, can safely reduce bleeding during adult liver transplant surgery.
This study tests whether removing the first blood that flows back into a transplanted liver helps patients recover better and have healthier liver function after surgery. Researchers will compare outcomes in patients undergoing their first liver transplant at this hospital.
This trial studies how doctors manage bleeding before, during, and after liver transplant surgery. The goal is to improve safety and outcomes for people receiving a new liver.
This study tests ways to reduce the need for blood transfusions during major liver surgery. Researchers will track patients undergoing large liver resections to see if new blood-management techniques can help you need fewer transfusions while staying safe.
This trial tests different ways of managing fluids during liver transplant surgery to see if it can reduce blood loss. It may be helpful for patients with end-stage liver disease who are waiting for a transplant.
This study tests whether a special way of moving blood through the donor abdomen before surgery can improve liver (and other organ) transplant quality. It may help because doctors can check how well the liver seems to be working before it’s actually used.
