Blood Coagulation Tests Clinical Trial

Official title: Non Invasive Measurement of Coagulation in Term and Preterm Neonates

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the reliability of a new non-invasive device to assess the blood coagulation status among term and preterm babies.

Clinical Trial Description

Coagulation abnormalities among neonates aren't common - but can be life threatening. Testing the coagulation system in small babies involves drawing significant amounts of blood (especially in premature babies). Non-invasive testing can help assess and treat term and preterm neonates at risk. Recently, a non-invasive device to assess the blood coagulation status was developed - The Thrombo-Monitor (ThM). The objective of this study is to assess the reliability of this new non-invasive device among term and preterm babies by comparing the result of the ThM reading to coagulation analysis from blood. ;
