Non Invasive Measurements of Intracranial Pressure After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Aneurysmal Subarachnoid HemorrhageFamilialIn patients at risk of increased intracranial pressure (ICP), ICP measurements require invasive transducers, usually with insertion of a catheter into the cranium, or through a spinal tap. These invasive modalities involve risks and pain and they can be done only in specialized care units, with a high associated cost. A novel method for detecting changes in ICP has developed recently. The auditory hair cells emit sounds and electric signals in response to sound, which can be easily detected and measured non-invasively with the help of a microphone probe placed in the external ear canal or regular electrodes. Indeed, the cochlear aqueduct connects the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces to the inner ear in such a way that ICP and inner-ear fluid pressure equalize within seconds. The evaluation of intracranial hypertension by increased ICP (invasive) is not systematically used after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. It is then detected by using routine clinical signs of hydrocephalus or another disorder of cerebrospinal liquid flow, in combination with a standard imaging method (TDM). The measurement of noninvasive ICP could allow earlier detection of hydrocephalus or another disorder of cerebrospinal liquid flow, and evaluate whether the increase in ICP precedes patient clinical worsening and / or imaging.
Thrombosis and Haemorrhage in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients
Chronic Renal FailureThe study T2HD "Thrombosis and Haemorrhage in chronic hemodialysis patients" is a study of pharmacoepidemiology observational, retrospective cohort, multicenter including 12 dialysis centers for adults Lorraine. The main objective is to : Describe the prescribing practices of drugs anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents in chronic hemodialysis patients in the Lorraine region. The second objective is to : Study the impact of these practices on the survival and the occurrence of major clinical events, thrombotic and hemorrhagic.
Continuous Quantified EEG in NeuroIntensive Care
ComaTraumatic Brain Injury2 moreTo evaluate the ability of NICU staff to interpret, before and after a training period, symmetry, sedation level, seizures activities and artefact on continuous cEEG/qEEG tracings.
Comparison of the Accuracy of Non-invasive Hemoglobin Measurement (SpHb) and Vena Cava Inferior...
Blood DonorsTraumatic Blood LossThe aim of this work is determine the more successful noninvasive method by comparison of two noninvasive methods ( IVC ultrasound - noninvasive hemoglobin measurement (SpHb)) that used in the detection of patients with blood loss. The works were completed in 6 months. The study was conducted at the blood donation center and in Emergency department. Vital parameters were measured and recorded before making the voluntary blood donation. Following Masimo brand portable device fingers SpHb value was measured.Then IVC diameter of patients in the supine position were measured using ultrasonography. Then he left to donors return in routine blood donation programme. A unit (500ml) of blood were drawn from each donor. After the blood donation process measured and recorded the vital signs again. SpHb was measured noninvasively from finger again. Following these measurements were recorded again by measuring the diameter of IVC.
Cooling the Uterus in C-section After Dysfunctional Labor
Blood LossDysfunctional Labor1 moreThe objective of the study is to demonstrate whether cooling the uterine smooth muscle during cesarean section (following delivery of the fetus) will promote better uterine contraction and involution resulting in lower blood loss, use of fewer uterotonic medications, and fewer hysterectomies following cesarean section for dysfunctional labor.
Major Bleeding Risk Associated With Antithrombotics
Major HaemorrhageProspective, multicenter, observational study with a three-year inclusion period (from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2015) and a 6-month follow-up
Management of Bleeding and Coagulopathy in Trauma and Compliance to European Trauma Guidelines
Wounds and InjuryBleedingThis cohort study describes the epidemiology of trauma patients and their management in a French academic trauma center. It also aims to determine what recommendations from the European trauma guidelines is applied in routine.
The Association Between Shock Index and Severity of Postpartum Blood Loss
Postpartum HemorrhageThe present study aims to determine the relationship between postpartum changes in the shock index and the severity of blood loss and other PPH results. Blood loss, heart rate and blood pressure will be systematically measured in the postpartum period in all participating women to explore new clinical indicators to identify those requiring clinical intervention for excessive bleeding.
Gingival Bleeding and Von Willebrand Disease Typ 2 and 3
Gingival BleedingVon Willebrand DiseasesVon Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherent bleeding disorder resulting in prolonged bleeding time. Gingival bleeding is a frequently reported symptom of VWD. However, gingival bleeding is also known as a leading symptom of plaque-induced gingivitis and untreated periodontal disease. Gingival bleeding in VWD patients may be triggered by gingival inflammation and not a genuine symptom. Thus, this study evaluates whether type 2 and 3 VWD determines an increased susceptibility to gingival bleeding in response to the oral biofilm.
Influence of Drainage on EVD ICP-signal
Head InjurySubarachnoid HemorrhageThis observational study investigates ICP signals obtained through an external ventricular drain in the brain connected with an external transducer. In particular, the study investigates how drainage influences the monitored signal: influence of flow rate, reservoir height and initial ICP before draining.
