Blood clotting test for children having surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new device, called Quantra, that checks how well your child's blood clots during surgery. By comparing its results to standard lab tests in healthy children, researchers hope to confirm it is accurate and useful for guiding treatment in kids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 18 years old and born at least 3 weeks past their due date (corrected age).
- Your child will need to have surgery or a procedure that uses anesthesia and an IV line.
- Your child cannot be in the intensive care unit or on a heart-lung bypass machine at the time.
- Your child must not have had an infection or fever in the week before.
- Your child must not have a known bleeding or clotting problem, and their blood oxygen and hemoglobin levels need to be within a normal range.

This study tests a new blood test called ClotChek™ to see how well it works for people taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), a type of blood thinner. You would give a blood sample, and the test may help doctors better monitor your medication.
This study tests a device that checks how well blood clots during and after heart or blood vessel surgery in children. The goal is to help doctors quickly manage bleeding or clotting risks in young patients.
This trial checks whether a bedside machine (TEG 6s) can measure blood clotting in children during planned surgery. It may help doctors get faster, more accurate information about clotting during the operation.
This study looks at whether a special blood test called TEG can help doctors manage bleeding during major surgeries in children. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions by guiding treatment more precisely.
This study is testing a new device that may quickly measure how well your blood clots while you are on a blood thinner. They will take a small blood sample to see if the device works well for patients like you.
This study looks at how managing blood products during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine affects the risk of red blood cell breakdown in children. The goal is to find safer ways to handle blood during these procedures.
