Blood-Clotting showdown: which device best guides bleeding care in High-Risk patients?
NCT ID NCT06635564
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares three devices that measure how well blood clots — ClotPro, ROTEM, and TEG — in patients undergoing liver surgery, neurosurgery, or cesarean section. The goal is to see how closely the results from these devices agree with each other. The findings may help doctors choose the best tool for personalized bleeding management, but the test results will not be used to guide treatment during this study.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help identify which device provides the most accurate and reliable blood-clotting information, potentially improving bleeding management in high-risk surgeries and childbirth.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational comparison study, not a treatment trial. The results may not directly change patient care, and the devices may show similar performance, limiting the impact.
