Blood test for clotting in sepsis and trauma ICU patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing a special blood test called ROTEM to see how well it can predict bleeding problems in ICU patients with sepsis or severe trauma. It may help doctors give the right treatment faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You have either a severe trauma injury (with a high injury score) or a serious infection called sepsis
- If you have sepsis, you received specific antibiotics within 2 days of admission
- You are not on blood thinner medication (for the control group)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial studies how well the body's natural clot-busting system works in people with serious infections or major injuries. It may help doctors find better ways to treat these conditions.
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 aims to find early signs of a serious blood-clotting problem that can happen with septic shock. It tests a new way to detect this condition earlier, so doctors can treat it more quickly and improve outcomes.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can measure changes in white blood cells to better understand a serious blood-clotting problem that can happen with severe infections. Results may help doctors personalize care for patients with septic shock.
This study is testing two different simple blood tests to see which one better predicts sepsis (a severe infection response) and outcomes in ICU patients after surgery or trauma. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients sooner and improve care.
