New clot test could speed up care for postpartum bleeding

NCT ID NCT05127642

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a device called Sonoclot to quickly measure blood clotting in 90 women who had severe bleeding within 24 hours after giving birth. The goal was to see if this point-of-care test could help doctors spot clotting problems faster and improve treatment. The study is complete, but it was only observational, so it does not prove that using Sonoclot leads to better outcomes.
