Blood Clotting Test to Predict Bleeding After Heart Surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new blood test that measures how well your platelets (clotting cells) work to predict if you might bleed more after heart surgery. The goal is to catch bleeding problems early and help doctors manage them better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are having planned or urgent heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine
- You can give written permission to be in the study
- Your blood thinners have been stopped before surgery
- You are not pregnant

This study looks at how well platelets work during heart surgery using a special test called thromboelastography. It may help doctors understand and manage bleeding risks in people having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This study examines how heart-lung machines used during heart surgery affect blood platelets (clotting cells) and the body's inflammatory response. Understanding these changes may help doctors better manage bleeding and inflammation after cardiac surgery.
This study watches how well platelets (cells that help blood clot) work in people who have high-risk heart surgery using a heart-lung machine for more than 2 hours. The goal is to learn more about bleeding risks after surgery.
This study looks at how a special blood test done during heart surgery relates to patient outcomes. The test is done at the bedside (point-of-care) to measure how well the blood clots. The study is a retrospective chart review, meaning researchers will look back at medical records of patients who had this test during their heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
This study tests a new device called Quantra QPlus that quickly measures how well a child's blood clots during or after heart surgery. It may help doctors manage bleeding and blood-clotting problems more effectively in children.
This trial tests a method to control bleeding during open heart surgery. It may help you if you are planning to have this surgery.
