New blood test may reduce transfusions in liver transplants
NCT ID NCT02352181
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 82 adults getting a liver transplant to see if using a special blood test called ROTEM helps doctors manage bleeding better than standard tests. The goal was to see if ROTEM could reduce the amount of blood products given during surgery. Researchers tracked complications like breathing problems, blood clots, and infections to see if the approach was safer.
