Testing Blood Clotting in Pregnant Women With Low Platelets
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a machine called ROTEM Sigma that measures how well your blood clots, specifically in pregnant women who have or may have low platelet counts (cells that help blood clot). The goal is to help doctors better predict bleeding problems during or after delivery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and about to deliver, or have just delivered
- You have a low platelet count (below 120) before delivery, OR you had heavy bleeding after delivery (more than 1500 mL of blood loss) with concerns about low platelets
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are willing to participate and provide consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two different amounts of platelet transfusions to see which is safer and more effective for premature babies with very low platelet counts. Platelets are tiny cells in the blood that help stop bleeding, so this treatment may reduce the risk of serious bleeding in the brain.
This study looks at a new way to predict if patients with blood cancers and very low platelets will have bleeding problems. By doing extra blood tests, researchers hope to create a score that helps doctors prevent bleeds.
This study looks at the best way to decide when to give platelet transfusions to very premature babies. It aims to help prevent bleeding while avoiding unnecessary transfusions.
This trial looks at how to estimate bleeding risk in newborns who are very premature and have a low platelet count. The goal is to guide safer care by better identifying which babies may be at higher risk of bleeding.
This study looks at how blood clotting changes during pregnancy and how a common blood thinner affects clotting in the lab. It may help doctors understand pregnancy-related clotting risks better.
This study looks at how pregnancy affects blood clots in healthy women. If you qualify, researchers will check your blood's clotting properties to learn more about pregnancy-related changes.
