Active clinical trials for "Hematoma"

Posterior cranial fossa craniectomy has been shown to improve patient survival. The level of autonomy, disability and quality of life of survivors has been little studied and still underresearched,. In this context, an assessment of the level of disability and of the quality of life after performing a posterior craniectomy seems relevant.

Decompressive craniectomy is suggested as an effective surgical intervention for patients with high intracranial pressure. Recently, various customized artificial materials are increasingly employed, e.g., titanium and polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The application of PEEK in cranioplasty is increasing, while its comprehensive evaluation in clinical practice is still insufficient, especially when comparing with the effects of titanium implant. We thus designed the study to evaluate the comprehensive effects of the cranioplasty with PEEK vs titanium.

This study was designed to whether there is a measurable reduction in inflammation in walls of unruptured vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms with atorvastatin.

Hysterectomy is one of the common operations in gynecology. With population aging in modern society, the incidence of these surgeries is expected to increase even more. One of the major complications of pelvic surgery is symptomatic pelvic hematoma, which can present with pain, fever, and foul smelling discharge. The incidence of pelvic hematoma is 40%, and varies according to the type of hysterectomy and the diagnostic procedure. Those hematoma increase the risk for infection. Diagnosis usually is not a clinical one unless symptoms occur, and then the diagnosis is made by CT or ultrasound. Number of interventions are mentioned in the literature to try and decrease post operative complications and infections, none have suggested effective enough. This is a prospective study which objective is to characterize the incidence of pelvic hematoma following hysterectomy using ultrasound. The investigators will also try to identify preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative risk factors for infection of this hematomas. This identification might decrease the incidence of postoperative hematoma and infection.

The study , observe the effect of releasing the Tourniquet in total knee replacement surgery before closure in comparison with releasing it after wound closure The effect was assessed by Hb drop post operative and Hematoma formation ( measured by ultrasound ) as well as the wound complication

After laparoscopic hysterectomy, authors aimed to determine cuff hematoma and a postoperative CRP value to help predict the other complications. A total of 136 patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) were evaluated. CRP, White blood cell (WBC) and hemoglobin values (Hb) were measured on the 1st, 2nd and 7th days before and after the operation. Complications, pre-postoperative vaginal length and female sexual function were evaluated. Fourteen patients who developed cuff hematoma during postoperative follow-up were analyzed with the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve. ROC curves with the largest area under the curve for each inflammatory marker were compared in order to define the marker with higher diagnostic accuracy.

Consent will be taken from the relatives and the patient will be taken to the operating room. Inside the operation theatre patient will be shifted to operating table and standard monitors will be attached. The patient will then be given induction agent to make him/her unconscious and unaware of the surrounding and muscle relaxant to prevent movement will be administered. He/she will be intubated with appropriate size tube to maintain airway. In order to maintain anesthesia he/ she will be given either of inhalational or intravenous anesthetic throughout the surgery. Intracranial pressure will be measured using venflon needle as soon as burr hole is created in the skull. Throughout the surgery patients vital parameters will be monitored and appropriate treatment will be given in case if the vitals are not stable.

Retrospective Analysis of patients that received shockwave lithotripsy as Treatment of ureteral or kidney Stones. Condition examinated is the effect of low molecular weight Heparins and acetylsalicylic acid on the Formation of renal hematoma after shockwave lithotripsy. Primary outcome is documented hematoma in a postoperative ultrasound control. Secondary outcomes are perioperative complication, Need for erythrocyte tranfusion, interventions for bleeding control, readmission or death within 30 days.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Sodium Fluoride imaging (using Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography - PET-CT) is able to predict disease progression in acute aortic syndrome.

As the number of implanted cardiovascular implanted electronic devices (CIEDs) increases, the incidence of their complications also grows. Pocket hematoma is an important complication of CIED implantation, which has been reported in 2.9-9.5% of CIEDs patients. Pocket hematoma can cause significant pain and interfere with proper wound healing, and it also increased the risk of infection and may prolong length of stay. Pocket compression is usually applied to compress bleeding vessels and reduce bleeding after implantation. A conventional compression method is to place a sandbag over the pocket, and then using adhesive tape to fix the sandbag. Due to adhesive tape is elastic and the tape may be pulled by patients' activity, sandbag easily migrated from the site. Therefore, nurse must readjust the position of sandbag, or even remove the adhesive tape and perform re-compress. Furthermore, adhesive tape can cause skin erosion. All of which not only result in patients' discomfort and dissatisfaction, but also increase the burden on nurses and wastes resources. We designed a pocket compression fixation belt. We assumed that using this fixation belt can ensure the compression effect while avoiding sand bag displacement, reducing skin erosion and decrease the workload of care.
