ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to compare two different ways of diagnosing bleeding problems during surgery, specifically focusing on how quickly each method works. The study will use a new test called point-of-care (POC) viscoelastic tests, which can give results right in the operating room, and compare it to standard laboratory tests that take longer. The goal is to find out which method helps doctors identify bleeding issues faster during surgeries that have a higher risk of significant bleeding.

To participate in this trial, patients will need to be scheduled for certain types of elective surgeries, like heart surgery, joint replacements, or surgeries for cancer, and must be at risk for bleeding. They also need to be able to provide written consent to take part. If you join the study, you can expect to be monitored closely during your surgery to see how quickly the tests can diagnose any bleeding problems. It’s important to note that pregnant individuals and those who decide not to participate or whose surgery is stopped for any reason cannot be included in the study.
