Active clinical trials for "Ecchymosis"

This study will be a prospective randomized study to evaluate the effect of tranexamic acid (TXA) use on intraoperative and postoperative outcomes among patients undergoing rhinoplasty by two Facial Plastic surgeons at Vanderbilt. Outcomes will include intra- and post-operative bleeding and postoperative bruising and swelling.

This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of different bed head heights (thirty degrees and forty-five degrees) given to patients after rhinoplasty surgery on periorbital edema, periorbital ecchymosis, respiratory function and sleep quality.

This study is looking at the effect of Tisseel in eyelid surgery. Fibrin sealants (Tisseel) cause there to be less bleeding during surgery. Surgeons have used Tisseel for over two decades to reduce bruising. Ophthalmologists use it during surgery. Yet, there are no studies confirming the effect of Tisseel during eyelid surgery. Unpublished work suggests that it is effective in decreasing postoperative bruising. This study will confirm the effect of Tisseel on postoperative bruising in blepharoplasty.

Most primigravida is confronted with episiotomy during childbirth to prevent the perineal and vaginal lacerations which could be performed at birth. There are many types of episiotomy which are median, mediolateral, and J-shaped episiotomy. Prevention of the formation of the dead space during the repair of episiotomy so avoiding hematoma formation in the episiotomy area after child-birth. The Mostafa Maged four-stitch technique uses absorbable vicryl threads with round needles 75 mm.

This is study looking at the use of a medication, Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP), to reduce bleeding, swelling, and bruising in patients undergoing cosmetic nose surgery. DDAVP is a drug used in patients with bleeding disorders. It works by activating molecules in the blood stream called platelets that promote clotting. In the study, participants who are have cosmetic nose surgery (rhinoplasty) will be randomly assigned to receive or not receive medication. Photographs taken before and shortly after surgery will be evaluated for the amount of bruising and swelling. Patients with heart, lung, kidney, or liver problems are not eligible to participate.

The study evaluate the effectiveness of dry cold application on pain intensity and bruise at the subcutaneous injection site among patients admitted in medical I.C.U. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 hospitalized patients (30 in experimental and 30 in comparison group). Dry cold was applied to the subcutaneous injection site using ice bag filled with crushed ice with half table spoon of salt for 20 minutes after the administration of injection and no intervention was given in comparison group.

The objective of this study is to assess the comparative utility of topical formulations in hastening the resolution of skin bruising. For each subject, four standard bruises of 7 mm diameter each were created on the bilateral upper inner arms, 5 cm apart, two per arm, using a 595-nm pulsed-dye laser. Randomization was used to assign one topical agent (5% vitamin K, 1% vitamin K and 0.3% retinol, 20% arnica or white petrolatum) to exactly one bruise per subject, which was then treated under occlusion twice a day for 2 weeks. A dermatologist rated bruises in standardized photographs immediately after bruise creation and at week 2.

Arnica montana is a homeopathic drug that is made in accordance with the official methods of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS) and is commonly used by cosmetic surgeons throughout the world, although there is no study proving its benefit after rhinoplasty surgery. The purpose of the research is to see if Arnica montana will reduce the amount of bruising and the intensity of the bruising after surgery. Photographs of the subject's face will be taken and used to analyze bruising after rhinoplasty surgery in subjects who receive Arnica montana and compare them to photographs of subjects who take a placebo (sugar pill).

Nutritional supplementation is more effective than placebo in the reduction of redness and bruising following facial ablative laser resurfacing treatments and following soft tissue filler injections to the lips and/or malar areas.

Flushes with saline solution are used for maintaining patency of peripheral intermittent intravenous catheters in many institution based on the results of previous studies showing that 10 U heparin/mL is not better than saline in this respect. The latest meta-analysis investigated also safety and efficacy of heparin concentrations of 100 U/ml used as an intermittent flush, but no firm conclusion was reached because of limitations of the few available studies.
