Trial summary

Cardiac surgery is bleeding requiring transfusion surgery . The haemorrhagic is related to the need to use high doses of anticoagulants to prevent thrombosis of blood . Moreover, this type of surgery is platelets and coagulation factors consumming despite conducting a thorough anticoagulation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Perioperative Coagulation Management in Cardiac Surgery. Rotem Versus Standard Pratctice. A Randomized Trial.

Cardiac surgery is bleeding requiring transfusion surgery .

The haemorrhagic is related to the need to use high doses of anticoagulants to prevent thrombosis of blood . Moreover, this type of surgery is platelets and coagulation factors consumming despite conducting a thorough anticoagulation.

All these changes contribute to increase the need for transfusions during heart surgery.

The main objective of this study is to compare the need for transfusions in patients suffering from bleeding complications after cardiac surgery with a therapeutic algorithm based on the use of ROTEM ® versus standard tests based solely on standard laboratory tests.

100 pateinst (50 in each arm) should be included in this trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rotation thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and Standard coagulation managment procedure in people with Cardiac Surgery and Bleeding, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 4 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
