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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Quantra System with QPlus Cartridge (diagnostic device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could help doctors quickly assess bleeding risk in children during heart surgery, leading to better and faster treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study focused on comparing the device to existing methods. It does not test whether using the device actually improves patient outcomes, so real-world benefits are uncertain.
