Blood 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 blood forms clots. It aims to see if this test can predict bleeding after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine, which might help doctors manage bleeding better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for elective or urgent heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine.
- You can give written consent to participate.
- You are not pregnant.
- Your surgery is not an emergency.
- Any blood thinners you take must be stopped before surgery.

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 looks at how blood cells change during heart surgery and whether these changes affect bleeding or inflammation after the operation. It may help doctors predict and manage complications in people having heart 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 back at records of people who had heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The researchers want to see if a special blood test done during surgery (which checks how well your blood clots) can predict how the patient recovers and whether they have complications.
This trial checks a blood test called NT-proBNP (a marker related to heart stress) to help predict outcomes after planned surgery. It may help doctors identify which patients are at higher risk so they can tailor monitoring and care.
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.
