Management of Digestive Haemorrhaging In CHRU of Brest During 2009 and 2014
Gastro Intestinal BleedingGastro intestinal (GI) bleeding is relatively frequent and may lead to intensive care unit admission. Although a restrictive strategy for red blood cell transfusion is supported by a large randomized controlled trial literature, less is known about the impact of transfusion strategy of other blood components and administration of anti fibrinolytic on clinical outcomes. This study aims to identify parameters that may be associated with the risk of further bleeding in patients admitted to ICU for GI bleeding.
Severe Leptospirosis in Non-tropical Areas
LeptospirosisIntensive Care Unit2 moreLeptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis. The mortality of the disease is between 3,6% to 13%, and up to 48% for the severe leptospirosis. Only few studies exist on severe leptospirosis and none major multicentre on leptospirosis in intensive care units in Europe. The investigators conduct a retrospective multi centric study in metropolitan France in order to identify the characteristic, the treatments and the prognostic factors associated with mortality of sever leptospirosis.
Blood Ammonia as Predictor for Esophageal Varices and Risk of Bleeding
Chronic Liver DiseaseEsophageal VaricesAssessment of blood ammonia level as a non-invasive predictor for presence of EV and risk of bleeding
Single Dose of Tranexamic Acid and Blood Loss, in Elderly Patients With Hip Fracture
Blood LossSurgical3 moreThe aim of this study is to investigate the hypothesis that single dose of tranexamic acid (TXA) preoperatively will lower blood loss and transfusion rate in elderly patients with hip fractures (intertrochanteric or Subcapital), that will be treated with intramedullary nailing and cemented hemiarthroplasty respectively. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients will be randomized in two groups. Group 1 will include patients that receive preoperatively single dose of TXA (15mg/kg) and Group 2 will include patients that receive normal saline (control group).
Validation of Hemorrhoidal Bleeding Score
Hemorrhoid BleedingThe principal manifestation of hemorrhoidal disease is bleeding; however the severity evaluation is today based on prolapsus (Goligher classification) and bleeding factor is not included. Even if there was some rare score including bleeding in literature , none of them were validated. The aim of the study is first validation of bleeding score .
Blood Pressure During ESD is Related With the Postoperative Bleeding
Gastrointestinal DiseaseGastrointestinal BleedingEndoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) is a prominent minimally invasive operation technique for treating early gastrointestinal tumor. But promoting ESD is uneasy because of its complications such as postoperative bleeding, perforation and so on. So if we decrease the rate of postoperative bleeding, ESD might be better popularized. Some study indicated that hypertension was the independent risk factor of postoperative bleeding. Endoscopic center of Fudan University Zhongshan Hospital is a rich experienced medical unit in doing ESD operation in China. Referring to our experience, if we can use some special methods to find the potential bleeding spot which is not obvious during ESD operation and we coagulate it precisely, then we may control the risk of postoperative bleeding. Based on the above hypothesis, our team designed this study to examine whether increasing blood pressure during gastric ESD could help to control the risk of postoperative bleeding.
Presentation of Subarachnoid Haemorrhage
Subarachnoid HemorrhageIt is the primary aim of this study to identify symptoms and/or specific words (trigger words) indicative of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage (sSAH) during emergency telephone calls to the Emergency Medical Service Copenhagen (EMS). Further, it is the aim to determine the association between the symptoms/trigger words and sSAH, the sensitivity of the symptoms/trigger words and finally, to identify factors in the telephone visitation that may influence the level of activated prehospital response
Thoracic Ultrasound on Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding (ECOBLEDSTUDY)
Upper Gastrointestinal BleedingUpper Gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a medical emergency and the most common cause of hospitalization associated with digestive disease. Proper initial resuscitation is the first step in the management of UGIB patients. Today, modern pulmonary ultrasound is used in different clinical settings, such as intensive care, emergency medicine and/or traumatology. In the last years, the use of this has been standardized both in internal medicine and in pulmonary medicine. The primary objective is to describe the findings of pulmonary ultrasound and its relationship with severity in patients with UGIB. The investigators will include all patients with UGIB. A pulmonary and vena cava ultrasound will be performed on admission to the emergency room, 10 minutes prior to endoscopy and 24 hours after having performed the endoscopy. The use of thoracic point-of-care ultrasound (TPOCUS) has been standardized in both internal and pulmonary medicine. There is a concern about the role of TPOCUS useful as a severity prognostic tool in patients with UGIB. The team proposes that TPOCUS is a severity prognostic tool in UGIB patients. Main Outcome: To describe the findings of TPOCUS in patients with variceal and non-variceal UGIB. Secondary Objectives: Correlate the presence of B-type lines on TPOCUS with mean arterial pressure in UGIB patients. Correlate the inferior vena cava diameter with the Model for End-stage Liver Disease scale in UGIB patients. Correlate the inferior vena cava diameter with the 48 hours post-admission mortality of UGIB patients. Authors design a prospective, longitudinal, descriptive study to identify the findings of TPOCUS in patients with variceal and non-variceal UGIB. Patients will be included in the study since May 15th through October 30th 2019, admitted to the University Hospital, "Dr. José E. González", Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León.
Prolonged Vasospasm in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Subarachnoid HemorrhageVasospasm1 moreThe prevalence and clinical implications of prolonged cerebral vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage are unknown.
ROTEM® Obstetric Hemorrhage Pilot Study
High Risk Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH)This is a prospective observational study among women at high-risk of postpartum hemorrhage, in their third trimester who are admitted to Labor &Delivery in spontaneous labor, for induction of labor, or for scheduled cesarean section.
