Validation of Point-of-care Thromboelastography (TEG 6s) in Pediatric Patients
Sponsor: Indiana University
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the performance of the TEG6s in normal pediatric patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the normal TEG 6S lab results in normal pediatric patients and how do they compare to existing published reference ranges. Participants and their guardians will be asked to submit a small amount of blood at the beginning of an elective operation for analysis in the TEG 6s machine.

Interventions
Thromboelastography (TEG 6S)
The TEG 6s assays are performed in a microfluidic cartridge which only requires a small amount of a patient's blood be transferred to the cartridge for analysis. The vibration frequency of the blood meniscus at which resonance occurs is used to create a clot dynamics tracing.
