Quick clot test may help women during High-Risk delivery surgery
NCT ID NCT02729974
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a fast blood test (ROTEM) done during surgery for placenta accreta can help doctors decide when to give blood transfusions. 32 women took part, with half getting the rapid test and half getting standard lab tests. The goal was to see if the rapid test could reduce the amount of blood products needed and improve recovery.
