About this study

Official title: Does Bedside Ultrasound Clot Elasticity Measurement Reduce Intraoperative Transfusion During Double-lung Transplantation?

Transfusion in lung transplantation is common, and despite improved techniques and limitations in the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS), the incidence of massive transfusion has remained stable over the years. The consequences of blood transfusion (blood cells, plasma, platelet concentrates) are deleterious for patients and increase primary graft dysfunction and mortality risk.

Whole blood viscoelastic testing devices have shown its effectiveness in monitoring coagulation and fibrinolytic function during cardiac surgery, liver transplantation or trauma. So far, few delocalized biology tools have been evaluated in lung transplantation.

The main objective of this study is to determine if the use of a transfusion algorithm based on whole blood viscoelastic test with Quantra® test reduce transfusion during lung transplantation.

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Labile blood products measure (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05798286, which also lists 16 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jun 2026.
