NCT ID NCT07597278
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a new device called the Quantra System to see how well it measures blood clotting in children undergoing heart surgery or with bleeding after surgery. The device gives quick results from a small blood sample. Researchers will compare its readings to those from standard clotting tests. The goal is to see if this device can help doctors manage bleeding more effectively in young patients.
