INR Comparison Testing in Cardiac Surgery
Completed
- Conditions
- Coagulation Disorder
- Registration Number
- NCT03267823
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Miami
- Brief Summary
The investigator is testing blood samples to compare the results of two different techniques. Since blood loss and the need for blood transfusions continue to be major problems after heart surgery and other types of surgery, the blood clotting levels are constantly checked during heart surgery as part of clinical care.The purpose of this study is to compare the INR levels in blood before and after the heart bypass during surgery.
