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)

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 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 study is testing a new blood test that looks at how well your blood clots to see if it can help find sepsis (a severe response to infection) earlier. It is for adults who might have an infection, but you cannot be taking certain medications or have certain health conditions.
This study looks at how often sepsis leads to blood clotting issues in critically ill patients, and what happens to those patients. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat this complication.
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 compares two blood test methods to help predict sepsis (a severe infection) and patient outcomes in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors identify high-risk patients faster and more accurately.
