Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the tolerance of intravenous milrinone combined to the current standard treatment for cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Assessment of IV milrinone safety in this setting is mandatory before the conduction of a large study assessing its effectiveness.

Carbetocin (Duratocin®) is a long-acting form of oxytocin, with a half-life almost 10 times longer. Studies have demonstrated that carbetocin diminishes the need for secondary uterotonic agents compared to oxytocin for cesarean delivery (CD). Despite certain Canadian guidelines recommending its use for elective CD, several Canadian centers and other countries have not adopted carbetocin. The purpose of this study is to prospectively gather electronic data on all CDs over a one year period, elective and emergent, in a single institution, and to evaluate the efficacy and other clinical outcomes when carbetocin is used as a first line uterotonic for all CDs. A database using Microsoft Dynamics CRM is available on smart phones and tablets. Data regarding additional uterotonic use and impact of carbetocin use during CD on intra and postoperative outcomes are gathered and analyzed. The primary outcome is the use of additional uterotonics in this population compared to that described in the literature for oxytocin as the primary uterotonic.

The MAS Study is an observational, multicentre, prospective cohort study in Non valvular Atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients treated with one of the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) available in Italy for NVAF patients. The general aim is to deepen the knowledge of DOAC treatment in NVAF patients, by measuring the plasma concentration of anticoagulant drugs and their correlation with any adverse events that may occur during treatment.

This proposed study is unique in that patients will not undergo computed tomography (CT) simulation at any point during their treatment course and will instead have same-session magnetic resonance (MR)-only simulation and treatment planning, on-table, using the adaptive radiotherapy (ART) workflow. In this manner, patients requiring urgent treatment could initiate treatment as early as the day of initial radiation oncology consultation.

Searching a dysfunction of corticotropic and thyrotropin axis during the acute phase ( ≤48h ) of a subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to spontaneous rupture of cerebral aneurysm. Impact on the incidence of complications and recovery are evaluated at 1 month. Blood sample are made within 48 hours of the onset of bleeding with assay of total plasma cortisol, plasma ACTH at 8 am and thyroid hormones (T3, free T4 , and TSH). Dynamic test ACTH stimulation (test Synacthene) with renewal of serum cortisol to H + 1 (60min). Evaluation in the first 30 days of the incidence of rebleeding, hydrocephalus, of vasospasm, infection and epilepsy. GOS to 1 month.

The purpose of this project is to test how fentanyl, an analgesic currently employed in the pre-hospital setting by the US Army, alters the capacity to tolerate a hemorrhagic insult in humans.

We are examining how morphine (a commonly used pain medication) will alter responses to simulated blood loss in humans. To simulate blood loss in our research laboratory, participants will complete a test with their lower body in a custom-designed vacuum chamber for a brief period of time.

A prospective study of bleeding peptic ulcers and/or erosions in the upper gastrointestinal tract - risk-medication, presence of Helicobacter pylori, treatment and outcome.

Heavy menstrual bleeding or menorrhagia, is a common problem on women's lives and can burden both patients and health care systems. HMB is defined as cyclic heavy vaginal bleeding. Hormonal treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is also endorsed as the first line treatment in several international guidelines. The effects of these therapies on bleeding related quality of life are not well known. The aim of the present study is compare the effect of Estradiol Valerate/Dienogest (E2V/DNG), Levonorgestrel-Intrauterine Device (LNG-IUD) and oral micronized progesterone treatment on bleeding pattern, cycle control, menopausal symptoms and patient satisfaction of women with HMB.

Background Bleeding is often encountered after vascular access procedures for dialysis and fatal episodes of haemorrhage has been reported. A technological solution was sought to monitor for such rare but potentially catastrophic incidents. A novel device, BWATCH, was developed to detect fresh blood from wounds. Aims The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the device in detecting bleeding in a clinical environment. Methods This a prospective, observational study on inpatients who will have a dialysis catheter inserted or removed. The device will be placed over the dressing for at least 6 hours. An alarm will be triggered if the device detects moisture and wavelength of light reflected specific for haemoglobin.
