Active clinical trials for "Blood Loss, Surgical"

The primary endpoint is the effect of the addition of oral Diltiazem and Tranexamic Acid to general anesthesia aided reduction in blood loss during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). The secondary endpoint is surgeon's assessment of the surgical field and hemodynamics.

Patients undergoing thyroidectomy will be divided into three groups (30 cm H2O Group I, 40 cm H2O Group II, 50 cmH2O Group III). At the end of the operation patients will be applied peak airway pressure manually according to involved groups.The time until the first hemorrhage is seen in each group or if not seen pressure will be applied for 30 seconds and then will be ended.We will record the blood pressure, spO2, HR, the first ETCO2 after the procedure, postoperative haemorrhage that required surgery, and postoperative hematomas during peak airway pressure increase during the operation in all patients. The 1st hour blood pressure, nausea-vomiting score and pain score (NRS) will be recorded in the postoperative recovery unit. The primary end point of the study is intraoperative bleeding detected, and the secondary end point is postoperative bleeding.

The aim of this study is to describe the transfusion practices in patients undergoing major surgery in Turkey. The transfusion rates of red blood cells (RBC), fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and platelets; the transfusion predictors and transfusion related patient outcomes are investigated.

To study the effect of addition of oral verapamil or Diltiazim to general anaesthesia on the Intraoperative haemodynamics : heart rate(HR), noninvasive blood pressure(NIBP), mean arterial blood pressure(MAP), and the blood loss during endoscopic sinus surgery.

We hypothesized that local administration of tranexamic acid will minimize blood loss and blood product administration in pediatric patient undergoing scoliosis surgery

Liver transplantation is the only treatment for end-stage liver disease. It is a high-risk surgery that can cause heavy intraoperative bleeding. Bleeding and transfusions of blood products are themselves associated with several postoperative complications. Few data have suggested beneficial interventions that can decrease this bleeding. Such interventions are necessary in order to improve these patients' outcomes. In order to better understand the potential therapeutic targets, a better comprehension of the variables associated with such bleeding is essential. Several previous studies have demonstrated a weak association between usual clotting times and bleeding in this population. However, few studies have evaluated the association between the concentration of fibrinogen and bleeding in this population. The primary objective of this study is to assess the association between preoperative serum fibrinogen concentration and the volume of intraoperative bleeding. The secondary objective is to assess the association between preoperative serum fibrinogen concentration and the number of red blood cell units transfused during the intraoperative and immediate postoperative periods. The hypothesis of the study is that a low concentration of preoperative fibrinogen will be associated with an increase in intraoperative bleeding and red blood cell transfusions.

Gastric cancer as one of the most common gastrointestinal cancers, radical resection of primary lesions combined with dissection of regional lymph-nodes is acknowledged by surgeons all over the world. By the invented and adopted energy surgical instruments, surgical procedure is safer and easier than before. The newly surgical instruments reduce the post-operative mortality and morbidity combined easy procedures of surgery. As the most popular instruments used in the gastric surgery, ultrasonic scalpel and monopolar electrocautery were received lots of attention and concern. Some studies have shown some advantage of the two instruments, which were they can facilitate the surgical treatment and make the surgery safer and more effective. Although, some small retrospective sample reports claimed that ultrasonic scalpel brought benefit in blood loss, dissection lymph-node intraoperative complications and even postoperative complications. And Korea small sample randomized controlled trail presentation that ultrasonic scalpel can reduced blood loss and surgical duration. However, postoperative complications were with no statistical significance between the two instruments. Cost- effective analysis of the energy instruments is still controversial. Large sample randomized control trail with high quality is needed. By the reasons above, a multicenter randomized controlled trial conducted by 9 hospitals from North to South in China aims to compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes, when using of the ultrasonic scalpel or monopolar electrocautery in traditional open gastrectomy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of ultrasonic scalpel compared with monopolar electrocautery in D2 distal gastrectomy, include, intraoperative parameters, postoperative complications, cost data, and post-operative quality of life.

Liver transplantation is the standard treatment for chronic advanced liver disease, whether or not associated with a primary liver tumor. The intraoperative bleeding and the need for blood transfusion, encountered in this major surgery are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, this hemorrhagic risk has been drastically reduced in the last 20 years and liver transplants without the use of blood products are now possible. Indeed, improvements in medical and surgical techniques associated with a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the cirrhotic patient have enabled this advance. One of the targeted therapeutic strategies is the control of portal hypertension. Several treatments have been sought, such as the use of splanchnic vasoconstrictors (such as vasopressin) and hypovolemic phlebotomy. These techniques reduce portal pressure and seem to reduce intraoperative bleeding with, even, a protective effect on kidney function. Their single-use or their combination is currently used in certain centers of expertise in liver transplantation. However, the hemodynamic effects of the combination of these 2 treatments on portal pressure has never been demonstrated. In this study, the effect of vasopressin, combined with a hypovolemic phlebotomy, on portal pressure in cirrhotic patients undergoing liver transplantation will be evaluated.

The purpose of this project is to compare the effectiveness of two different but well accepted routes of administration of tranexamic acid in order to reduce blood loss and need for transfusion in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Specifically, this study seeks to identify if intravenous tranexamic acid is superior to oral tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss and need for transfusion.

The purpose of this study is to observe the methods used to manage blood loss in surgical procedures to remove tumors from patients with cancer and to determine if there is a relationship with the need for blood transfusions.
