Point of Care Testing for Coagulation Function Versus Standard Laboratory Testing in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Major Surgery
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CoaguChek and Hospital Laboratory for Spinal Fusion and Cardiopulmonary Bypass. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The current study proposes to investigate Point of Care Testing (POCT) (Coagcheck®) and compare obtained results versus standard laboratory coagulation parameters prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT). The time difference in obtaining the two results will also be examined. A total of 100 pediatric patients undergoing spinal surgery or cardiopulmonary bypass will be enrolled and consented per protocol. Blood samples will be obtained simultaneously tested on both the standard laboratory apparatus and the Coagcheck® device. If the two results are comparable, this could have immediate clinical application and impact in the operating room as POCT results are available within 2-3 minutes compared to 1-2 hours for standard laboratory samples.
