Details and patient eligibility
About
The Quantra™ System is a novel point-of-care diagnostic device designed to perform whole blood coagulation analysis. This study compares Quantra measurements determined in arterial versus venous blood samples obtained from patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Full description
The Quantra System is a fully integrated and automated in vitro diagnostic device which utilizes SEER Sonorheometry, an ultrasound-based technology, to characterize the dynamic changes in the viscoelastic properties of a blood sample during coagulation and clot lysis. Viscoelastic testing performed using existing technologies is typically performed on arterial samples obtained from patients undergoing surgical procedures, although reference ranges for these tests have been established for venous blood only.
The aim of this study is to evaluate potential differences between Quantra measurements determined in arterial versus venous blood samples obtained from patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
