Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the retention of knowledge and skills after theory+simulation training versus theoretical training alone in postpartum haemorrhage immediately, 3 months and 6 months after training in South Kivu, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

This study will test the hypothesis that azythromycin is efficient and safe in cleansing the upper gastrointestinal tract for endoscopic examination in the case of acute bleeding.

the goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of manual pressure points (femoral and supra-clavicular) for hemorrhage control by military medics using either the traditional blind manual technique or an ultrasound guided technique in healthy human volunteers. The main question to answer is which technique provides better results with regard to cumulative flow cessation during a 180 seconds attempt. Participants will press on each other's supraclavicular and femoral pressure points, twice each, once with an ultrasound probe and once with their hand, while distal flow is measured using ultrasound doppler.

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS )has been shown to offer excellent oncological and functional outcomes for treating cancer at multiple subsites of the head and neck. Post operative haemorrhage (3.1% to 13.1%) is the most common complication of this procedure and can lead to airway compromise. Ligation of individual feeding vessels in the neck can limit risk of severe bleed and is usually done when concomitant neck dissection is carried out with TORS. In salvage TORS, in the absence of any nodal disease of the neck, the neck is explored, nevertheless, for the sole purpose of tying the vessel. Endovascular embolisation is a minimally invasive, safe and effective procedure; known for treating refractory epistaxis and for reducing intra-operative bleeding for benign vascular head and neck tumour. The investigators propose that superselective endovascular embolisation to occlude feeding blood vessels prior to TORS in patients who do not require neck dissection is a feasible, safe and acceptable intervention; and therefore a plausible alternative conventional open neck vessel ligation.

Reduction of intra-operative blood loss

This study employs a modified continual reassessment method (mCRM) design to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of PF-05230907, defined as a target toxicity rate of 15% based on treatment emergent thromboembolic and/or ischemic events (TIEs). The mCRM design utilizes Bayesian methodology to continuously learn the dose-toxicity relationship, which is characterized by a parametric model. Subjects with a diagnosis of ICH (determined by computed tomography) will be enrolled in cohorts of 3. The total length of time planned for study participation is approximately 3 months; 6.0 hours for screening, a single dose administration with a 4-day minimum hospital confinement period and follow-up visits through Day 91. Severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. All subjects who receive PF-05230907 are evaluable for TIEs. The determination of MTD using mCRM modeling will be based on TIEs which occur through 7 days post-dose (Day 8).

The primary aim of this study is to compare efficacy of "early endoscopy" and "non-endoscopic treatment" for management of acute upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding in patients with recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study will also compare rates of surgery, repeated intervention (endoscopy or TAE), rebleeding and complications between two groups.

This study will evaluate if the timing of oxytocin administration in cesarean deliveries will affect the amount of maternal blood loss. Half of participants will receive oxytocin after delivery of the fetal anterior shoulder and the other half will receive oxytocin after delivery of the placenta. We hypothesize that administering oxytocin after delivery of the shoulder, will result in less overall maternal blood loss.

This study will investigate whether pazopanib can reduce epistaxis and improve anaemia in subjects with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) at a dose that is well tolerated. The study will have 2 parts. Part A will be an open label, dose-escalation study in which up to 4 cohorts of approximately 6 subjects each will receive increasing doses of pazopanib for a maximum of 12 weeks. The dose in the first cohort will be 50mg per day and the maximum dose in a cohort will be 400 mg per day. Dose escalation will not occur as planned if the predefined safety stopping criteria are met or at least 4 subjects in a cohort have demonstrated efficacy (as measured by epistaxis, haemoglobin, transfusion or iron infusion requirements). If efficacy is demonstrated in Part A with an acceptable safety profile, Part B will be initiated to further define the optimal dose(s) including dose duration/schedule and to provide further support for the proof of mechanism. Approximately 15 subjects will participate and will be randomised to active or placebo in a ratio of 3:2. This part of the study will be double-blind.

The investigators will test the central hypothesis that DFO treatment after SAH may improve cerebrovascular regulation, mitigate ischemic neural injury, and serve as an effective neuroprotectant against delayed ischemic injury after SAH.
