Testing for blood clots in surface veins in the emergency department
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how doctors test for superficial vein thrombosis (a blood clot in a vein near the skin) in the emergency department. It aims to improve detection and care for patients with this condition.

This study is testing a new D-dimer blood test (AQT90 FLEX) to see how well it detects blood clots in people who have symptoms but a low to moderate risk. If you join, this test may help rule out dangerous clots more quickly.
This trial tests whether a machine learning algorithm can quickly detect deep vein thrombosis (blood clots) in people coming to the emergency room. It could help speed up diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at whether a certain ultrasound method can safely check for deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in the leg) when the clot seems less likely. It may help doctors decide faster and avoid unnecessary testing in some people.
This trial tests if stable emergency room patients can be safely monitored without immediate blood tests. It may help reduce waiting times and unnecessary procedures.
