Active clinical trials for "Blood Loss, Surgical"

A comparison of fibrin sealant 2 versus Surgicel® as an addition to standard surgical practice in stopping mild to moderate soft tissue bleeding during retroperitoneal or intra-abdominal surgery.

Randomized study evaluating the role of tranexamic acid in reducing intraoperative bleeding in palatoplasty.

Comparative Study Between Oxytocin Versus Tranexamic Acid and Ethamsylate, Pre-operative Administration.

The purpose of this study is to compare the blood loss during sinus surgery looking at two different types of anesthesia: either intravenous anesthesia with propofol or inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane.

Tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils) is a very common surgery in children. Bleeding after tonsillectomy is one of the risks of this surgery and can be more dangerous in children since they have less blood volume than adults. In order to improve recovery after tonsillectomy, steroids (medication that is a strong anti-inflammatory) are often given during the surgery. Recently, a study showed steroids given at the time of tonsillectomy increase the risk of bleeding significantly over children who did not receive steroids. This finding has raised concerns in the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) community since most ENT's use steroids during tonsillectomy in children. The investigators look to explore this question further. To answer the question of whether perioperative steroid administration significantly affects the rate of post-tonsillectomy bleeding, the investigators propose to test the following hypotheses in a prospective, randomized, blinded placebo-controlled trial: dexamethasone does not cause an increase in post-operative bleeding rate in tonsillectomy.

Purpose: The study aimed to determine whether intravenous administration of tanexamic acid (TXA) before shoulder arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery can improve arthroscopy visual clarity. Methods: This is a prospective, double-blinded, randomized and placebo-controlled study. From May 2016 to April 2018, patients requiring arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the TXA group that received 1000mg tranexamic acid intravenously 10 minutes before surgery or the placebo group that received the same volume of plain saline. Patients with pre-existing liver/renal disease, coagulopathy, or concurrent use of anti-coagulation medications were excluded. The visual clarity was rated by a numeric rating scale from grade 1(poor) to grade 3(clear) every 15 minutes throughout the surgery. Secondary outcomes included estimated perioperative blood loss, operative time, degree of shoulder swelling, postoperative subjective pain score, inpatient duration and associated comorbidities were recorded. Both parametric and nonparametric methods were used for statistical analysis.

This will be the first prospective randomized controlled clinical trial directly comparing Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC) Compared to Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) for post cardiopulmonary bypass microvascular bleeding and factor-mediated coagulopathy. Is there a difference in bleeding and transfusion requirements in patients received PCC versus FFP?

The purpose of the present study was to compare some hematologic parameters and operation time in patients who underwent esthetic bimaxillary surgery under hypotensive anesthesia.

Comparison Study Between Oxytocin Versus Tranexamic Acid and Ethamsylate Versus Normal Saline as Pre-operative Administration.

The purpose of this study is to compare blood loss between using low dose (500 mg) and high dose (3 g) topical intra-articular tranexamic acid after total knee arthroplasty in double-blind RCT
