Fibrinogen Concentrate in Isolated Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic Brain InjuryHemorrhageFibrinogen is a unique precursor of fibrin and cannot be compensated for by other coagulation factors. If plasma fibrinogen concentrations are insufficient, hemostatic clots cannot be formed with the appropriate firmness. In severe traumatic brain injury(TBI) patients, plasma fibrinogen concentrations decrease earlier and more frequently than other coagulation factors,predicting massive bleeding and death. The purpose of this study is to try early injection of fibrinogen concentrate in severe isolated traumatic brain injury and investigation the effect of it on post bleeding and complications.

Reducing Blood Loss Using Tisseel in TKA
Total Blood LossThe purpose of this study is to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial to investigate the blood-conservation effect of the topical hemostatic agents in patients receiving primary TKA procedures. The investigators will also observe if there is increased risk of blood transfusion rate by using topical hemostatic agents or not.

The Effectiveness and Safety of Human Lumbar Puncture Assist Device (LPat)
MeningitisEncephalitis4 moreThe purpose of this study is to proof and investigate the effectiveness and safety of the invented device named "Human Lumbar Puncture Assist Device (LPat)" as an assist tool to be utilized to improve the success rate of performing lumbar puncture (LP), avoid side effects from multiple punctures, avoid excess radiation if the LP need to be done under fluoroscopy, and need to obtain none traumatic tap for better CSF analysis.

Terlipressin on Effect of Renal Function in Cirrhotic Patients With Acute Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage...
Variceal HemorrhageCirrhosis2 moreTerlipressin and somatostatin/octreotide are the first-line choices for the treatment of acute variceal bleeding in liver cirrhosis. Acute kidney injury can develop in patients presenting with acute variceal bleeding. On the other hand, evidence suggests that terlipressin can reverse hepatorenal syndrome. It has been hypothesized that terlipressin can protect the renal function in cirrhotic patients with acute variceal bleeding, except for control of bleeding.

Factor XIII and Other Biomarkers in ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Factor XIII DeficiencyST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction2 moreIn medical practice, a combination of clinical exam, electrocardiograms, circulating biomarkers, and imaging is used to gain insights on the prognosis after myocardial infarction. Novel molecular non-invasive tools are needed that help clinicians overcome the adverse events of post-myocardial infarction remodelling and thereby achieve improved therapy for its prevention. Coagulation factor XIII (FXIII) decay has been linked to major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Given the correlation between both intramyocardial haemorrhage and microvascular damage with acute phase complications in ST-elevation myocardial infarction, we hypothesise that excessive FXIII decay within the first week may predict acute phase outcomes in these patients. If this holds true, FXIII determination could be used as diagnostic and prognostic tool.

Effectiveness of Artificial Intelligent Based mHealth System to Reduce ACS Patients Bleeding Events...
Acute Coronary SyndromePercutaneous Coronary Intervention1 moreThe present study was designed to observe the effectiveness of artificial intelligent based mHealth system(Chronic disease management system) to reduce bleeding events in ACS patients undergoing PCI.

Oral and Intravenous Tranexamic Acid in Lumbar Spine Surgery
Blood LossSurgical1 moreThe purpose of this project is to compare the effectiveness of two different but well accepted routes of administration of tranexamic acid in order to reduce blood loss and need for transfusion in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Specifically, this study seeks to identify if intravenous tranexamic acid is superior to oral tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss and need for transfusion.

Post-market Clinical Study to Confirm Safety and Performance of PuraStat® for the Management of...
Vascular Anastomosis SurgeryThe objective of this post-market clinical follow-up study is to collect medical information on patients implanted with PuraStat®, according to each participating institution's procedures and standards of care.

Multicenter Analysis of Oral Anticoagulant-associated ICH - Part Two
Anticoagulation Associated (VKA & NOAC) Intracerebral HemorrhageIntracerebral hemorrhage [ICH] is the most feared complication of oral anticoagulation [OAC], yet therapeutic strategies are limited reflected by overall weak guideline recommendations. Studies investigating acute interventions especially in patients with ICH taking non-vitamin-K-oral-anticoagulants [NOAC] remain inconclusive. Further, acute management issues in OAC-ICH patients (hematoma evacuation surgery, prevention of acute thromboembolic events, intraventricular fibrinolysis) still need to be investigated. Therefore, this observational study (RETRACE-II) represents the follow-up investigation to RETRACE (German-wide Multicenter Analysis of Oral Anticoagulant-associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage, study-period 2006-2010, NCT01829581), now spanning a study-period from 2011 until 2015 with 19 participating tertiary care centers nation-wide in Germany. Data pooling of the two RETRACE studies, altogether including more than 2500 patients treated at 22 centers over a 10 year period will allow statistically appropriate analyses of different outcomes.

Prognostic Factors in Malignant GI Bleeding Treated With Hemostatic Powder
DeathThis is a retrospective study to identify the prognostic factors of the good outcomes in patients who presented with upper GI bleeding from tumor and received Hemospray via endoscopy for hemostatic control. The good outcomes were assessed by immediate hemostasis, rebleeding at 72 hours as well as 7, 14 and 30 days following presentation at initial bleeding episode and also 6-month survival rate.
