Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

The aim of the study is to develop an accessible, reproducible ultrasound tool for objective clinical measurement of brain circulation in preterm infants in order to identify infants being at risk for preterm brain injury at an early stage. In the future, the results of this study might be useful to select those infants for early interventions aimed at preventing brain injury. In this study we will identify the normative values of the internal cerebral vein velocity in a reference cohort of stable preterm infants. This stable group of preterm infants is defined as all preterm infants with a birth weight appropriate for gestational age, and without major complications (such as a severe intracranial hemorrhage, severe hemodynamical instability, birth asphyxia) or major congenital malformations. In this group we will identify subgroups based on moments of clinical instability (sepsis, temporary hypotension, NEC, need for invasive respiratory support) or based on outcome parameters (IVH, PVL, developmental outcomes)

The study examines, whether the use of the HemoPill Acute ® capsule in case of suspected nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding can identify cases in which endoscopy can be delayed to 48-96 hours without risk to the patient.

Tractional retinal detachment (TRD) that involves the macula and non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage are the main causes of permanent vision loss in patients with diabetic retinopathy and requires prompt surgical intervention. Macular peeling is a surgical technique used in many retinal diseases including diabetic retinal detachment. Our purpose is to determine whether retinal microcirculatory changes occur after anatomically successful diabetic vitrectomy, and whether changes in blood flow vary if ILM peeling was done and whether changes in macular perfusion affect the final visual outcome. The aim of this study is to non-invasively evaluate, with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A), the anatomical changes of deep and superficial vascular density in the macula with and without macular peeling in diabetic vitrectomy.

Prospective, Multicenter, Double-blind, Randomized, Study to Evaluate DrugSorb-ATR Removal of Apixaban and Rivaroxaban to Reduce Likelihood of Serious Bleeding in Patients Undergoing Urgent Cardiothoracic Surgery

This is a prospective clinical study designed to assess blood loss in intracapsular and extracapsular hip fractures undergoing operative fixation at a Level II trauma center. It is well established in the orthopedic literature that tranexamic acid (TXA) decreases blood loss and need for postoperative blood transfusion in hip fracture patients as well as total joint arthroplasty patients. A typical dosing pattern, and the dosing pattern employed at our institution, is 1 gram IV infused prior to incision followed by 1 gram IV infused at the time of wound closure.

Fibrinogen concentrate is produced by different manufacturers using different purification technologies. The products available in Italy are three: RIASTAP (CSL Behring), FIBRYGA (Octapharma), and FIBRICLOTTE (LFB). RIASTAP and FIBRYGA are sold in 1-gram vials, and FIBRICLOTTE - in 1.5 grams vials. A recent in vitro study assessed how these products affected the clot firmness measured by the ROTEM FIBTEM maximum clot firmness (MCF) parameter. In vitro conditions, FIBRICLOTTE was verified to be the most efficient in increasing clot firmness. The present study is aimed to assess, in a series of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, the hypothesis that the FIBRICLOTTE fibrinogen is superior to the RIASTAP fibrinogen in increasing the FIBTEM MCF parameter in a clinical model of bleeding (postoperative bleeding after complex cardiac surgery).

Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) monitoring and CT-scanner perfusion are useful but imperfect tools to identify vasospasm and allow intervention to avoid infarction. Permanent monitoring of cerebral tissue oximetry (rSO2) by NIRS, a noninvasive method could allow better vasospasm detection. This study will evaluate diagnostic accuracy of cerebral oxymetry (NIRS) -by rSO2 measurement - in order to detect vasospasm in patient with severe subarachnoid hemorrhage compare to standard monitoring tools.

A monocentric, non-randomized, prospective study in which each patient is his/her own control. The study investigates 2 methods of blood pressure measurement, within the first 24 hours after reperfusion, i) Continuous measurement of blood pressure with the Clearsight device (Edwards) and ii) intermittent blood pressure measurements with cuff.

This study aims to confirm non-inferiority of the BioFreedom™ Drug Coated Stent to the Gazelle™ Bare Metal Stent arm of the Leaders Free study (NCT01623180) in high bleeding risk patients.

This study is a two-stage, pivotal, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, within patient comparison of the SENSE device and the standard diagnostic test, head CT scan in patients with a diagnosis of primary spontaneous ICH or traumatic intracranial bleeding for the detection and monitoring of intracranial hemorrhages.
