AI takes on blood clotting: can ChatGPT guide surgeons on bleeding?
NCT ID NCT07043556
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study evaluates whether artificial intelligence models can accurately interpret ROTEM blood clotting tests and recommend treatments for coagulopathy. Researchers will compare AI decisions to those of a panel of clinical experts using data from adults undergoing elective cardiac or liver transplant surgery. The goal is to see if AI can match expert-level judgment in identifying clotting problems and suggesting appropriate therapies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Artificial intelligence algorithms (ChatGPT and Gemini) for ROTEM interpretation
- What this could lead to
- If AI can match expert doctors in reading ROTEM results, it could help standardize bleeding management and speed up treatment decisions during surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study comparing AI to expert opinion, not a trial testing patient outcomes. AI may not perform well enough in real-world settings.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients (aged 18 years and older) undergoing elective cardiac surgeries-including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve surgery, and aortic procedures-and elective liver transplantation procedures. All participants will have complete and analyzable intraoperative ROTEM (Rotational Thromboelastometry) data available. Only patients who are able to provide written informed consent will be enrolled. Emergency cases, pediatric patients, and those with technically invalid ROTEM results will be excluded.
