Active clinical trials for "Blood Coagulation Disorders"

The primary aim of this study is to determine whether Camostat mesylate reduces SARS-COV-2 associated coagulopathy. Additional aims are to determine the effect of Camostat mesylate on SARS-COV-2 associated myocardial injury, to assess duration of hypoxia or intubation, to evaluate the length of intensive care unit and hospital stay, and assess mortality rates.

Evaluating the effect of prophylactic doses of vitamin K in preventing the adverse effect of cefoperazone/sulbactam induced coagulopathy in critically ill patients.

This proposal is designed to mitigate hemodilution (blood diluted with an electrolyte solution) and loss of plasma proteins responsible for normal blood clotting as well as platelets at the completion of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The Hemobag® system is a device qualified by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Many cardiac centers, such as Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in Englewood NJ are using the Hemobag® system for Jehovah's witnesses and other patients who go to that center for bloodless cardiac surgery (cardiac surgery performed without the use of blood or blood products). The system is designed to filter excessive water from blood left in the heart lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass) after it is separated from the patient during the performance of cardiac surgery. Consequently the likelihood of excessive post-operative bleeding and transfusion with allogeneic blood (blood bank blood from donors) is decreased.

This study is to evaluate the INR levels in patients taking phenprocoumon using the LumiraDx Point of Care INR test and comparing the results to the laboratory reference method , the ACL Elite Pro. Comparison will also be made with the Roche Coaguchek point of care INR test (point of care reference method). Performance will be demonstrated across a subject population of adult males and females in receipt of Phenprocoumon VKA therapy. This population is representative of the indications for use of the CE marked product. Operators will be trained clinical site staff. Venous plasma and capillary whole blood samples will be obtained from each subject in order to assess accuracy of the the LumiraDx Platform when compared to the reference devices (ACL Elite and Coaguchek Pro).

Maternal hypotension is the most frequent complication of a spinal Anesthesia. The prevention of spinal hypotension appears more likely to decrease the frequency and severity of associated adverse maternal symptoms than the treatment of established hypotension. Intravenous fluid administration prior to spinal anesthesia for caesarean section is accepted standard practice. The choice of fluid depends on individual and institutional habit, material cost (crystalloid is considerably cheaper) and the perceived relative benefits and risks. Uncommon but potentially serious adverse effect of colloids is impaired coagulation. Although pregnancy is associated with hypercoagulability, little is known about the effects of colloid preloading on coagulation in pregnant patients.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the bioequivalence of eptacog alfa A 6 mg and NovoSeven® in healthy male subjects.

This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and North America. The aim of the trial is to investigate the safety of monthly replacement therapy of recombinant factor XIII in patients with congenital FXIII deficiency. The trial continues until the product is commercially available, but an interim assessment will take place when all subjects have completed 52 weeks in the trial.

An intervention study to assess the short-term cardiovascular effects of reducing personal air pollution exposure by wearing particulate filtering respirators.

Need for perioperative blood transfusion is still high in certain types of oncological abdominal surgery. Allogeneic blood transfusion may be detrimental in cancer patients undergoing a potentially curative resection of malignant tumor, although the detailed mechanism of this effect is still under debate. We plan to evaluate whether a new, rotational thromboelastography-guided algorithm (ROTEM) to guide hemostatic resuscitation intra-operatively decreases the use of allogeneic blood products, the total amount of bleeding, transfusion related side effects, thromboembolic complications and costs. Its effect on each patient's post-operative hemostatic profile is also measured. 60 patients having a potentially curative pancreaticoduodenectomy (or resection of cauda of pancreas), total removal or partial resection of kidney and open radical cystectomy are recruited when an active blood loss of more than 1500 ml is estimated and/or measured and are randomized into two groups: one will be treated conventionally, ie. using massive transfusion protocol (MTP) if necessary, clinical judgement and conventional coagulation tests, the other treated using a ROTEM-based algorithm.

The purpose of the present study is to perform a comprehensive description of haemostasis parameters before and after haemodilution with Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) following acute bleeding during elective surgery. Moreover the study aims to test the in vivo haemostatic potential of fibrinogen concentrate in dilutional coagulopathy caused by HES in a clinical, prospective, placebo-controlled randomised setup. We hypothesise; a) A coagulopathy is induced following in vivo haemodilution; b) the coagulopathy is improved or partially improved by fibrinogen.
