The Impact of Mechanical Methods on the Postpartum Haemorrhage Prophylaxis During Caesarean Section...
Postpartum HemorrhageCesarean Section ComplicationsThe rate of heavy blood loss is higher in Cesarean delivery compared to vaginal deliveries. Since postpartum hemorrhage is a life threatening situation to decrease the maternal mortality and morbidity rates, precautions should be taken. In this study, we aim to decrease the amount of postpartum hemorrhage by clamping the uterine artery after the delivery of the baby during Cesarean delivery.

Early Ventriculo-peritoneal Shunt in Subarachnoid Patients With External Ventricular Drainage
Subarachnoid HemorrhageVentriculo-Peritoneal Shunt Infection1 moreAcute hydrocephalus is a common complication following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Early and emergency insertion of external ventricular drain (EVD) is standard treatment of acute post-SAH hydrocephalus. According to the high risk of infection associated with EVD, the study evaluates the outcome of early EVD conversion to ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) in poor-grade SAH patients.

Reducing Postoperative Bleeding After Hysterectomy Via Independent Closure of Vaginal Cuff Angles...
Postoperative BleedingPatient Satisfaction2 moreThe investigators propose prospectively evaluating if adding separate sutures to the angles of the vaginal cuff before running barbed suture reduces the incidence of patient's perception of bleeding after surgery.

The Utility of the Validated Intraoperative Bleeding Scale in Spine Surgery
Intraoperative Blood LossThoracolumbar Spine SurgeryThis is a single-center, prospective, observational study that will compare the blood transfusion rate between intraoperative bleeding severity characterized using the Validated Intraoperative Bleeding Scale (VIBe).

Effect of Apolipoprotein E on the Prognosis of Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Intracerebral HemorrhageThe purpose of this observational study was to compare perihematomal edema and short-term prognosis in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage carrying the APOE-ε3 and APOE-ε4 genes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Exploring whether patients carrying the ApoE-ε4 gene have more perifocal perihematomal edema after intracerebral hemorrhage than patients with the ApoE-ε3 gene. ApoEε4 gene has worse short-term prognosis than ApoEε3 gene in intracerebral hemorrhage patients. All the patients in this study received the same medications based on the guidelines for the management of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Some ICH patients were evaluated for Stereotactic minimally invasive surgery (sMIS) treatment by two experienced neurosurgeons.

Patient Important Gastrointestinal Bleeding in the ICU
Gastro Intestinal BleedingPatient Engagement1 moreThis study will engage patients and families to create a definition of what matters most to them about upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. This information will help to define the outcome of "patient-important GI bleeding" which is a secondary endpoint for the ongoing international randomized trial REVISE (NCT03374800), comparing acid suppression versus no acid suppression in the intensive care unit (ICU). Other outcomes in REVISE are clinically important upper GI bleeding, mortality, pneumonia and Clostridioides difficile infection. Guided by patient and family input, a series of open-ended questions will elicit patient and family views about what matters most about this complication in interviews and focus groups. The investigators will develop the definition of "patient-important GI bleeding" by analyzing interview and focus group transcripts of critically ill survivors and family members of critically ill patients who may or may not have had GI bleeding, and who were not enrolled in the REVISE trial. Patient and family perspectives (anticipated to be different from what clinicians consider to be clinically important GI bleeding), will be used to refine a new trial outcome for research on GI bleeding in the intensive care unit (ICU). Also, study results will help clinicians understand how to better support patients and families; to explain testing and treatment options when GI bleeding occurs in practice in the ICU.

Patients' Follow-up After Subarachnoid Haemorrhage Caused by Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms
Intracranial AneurysmsAfter endovascular treatment of the intracranial aneurysm, recanalization may occur, with a risk of recurrent subarachnoid haemorrhage or long-term angiographic recurrences of aneurysms. Few data exist on patients' long-term follow-up after subarachnoid haemorrhage caused by ruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Management of High Bleeding Risk Patients Post Bioresorbable Polymer Coated Stent Implantation With...
High Bleeding RiskCoronary Artery Disease1 moreThe study compares two lengths of medication therapy (a shortened versus a prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy) in order to prevent thrombus (blood cloth) formation after the successfully treatment for coronary heart disease with a drug covered stent (metallic tube). This comparison will be done in patients who, compared to the average patient, are more likely to suffer from complications on antiplatelet therapy (bleeding). Both durations are within the current medical recommendations. The aim of this study is to help improve further standard antiplatelet duration guidelines.

Processed Residual Pump Blood in Cardiac Surgery: The PRBC Trial
Cardiopulmonary BypassHemorrhage1 moreThe study is an randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 198 coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients, exploring whether ultrafiltration of residual blood in the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit reduces transfusion and bleeding.

Endometrial Ablation With Non-hysteroscopic Methods
Dysfunctional Uterine BleedingEndometrial ablation in women with dysfunctional uterine bleeding using second generation ablation devices is a common widespread therapeutic approach. This study aims to prove that amenorrhoea rates using Novasure are higher than those observed in microwave endometrial ablation, one year following intervention.
