Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

Multicenter case cohort study investigating clinical risk factors for clinically relevant bleeding in hemato-oncology patients, as well as bleeding related biomarkers during intensive treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of continuous noninvasive intraoperative plethesmography variability index in conjunction with Hemoglobin levels monitoring using Masimo Radical-7™ Pulse CO-Oximeter during elective cesarean sections in patients with antepartum and intrapartum hemorrhage as a guide for fluid and blood transfusion practice .

This study will provide novel information to the literature base for the pathophysiology of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The association of breakdown products in the serum of aSAH patients were reported in a very small case series of 3 patients, as mentioned above. However, while their results are intriguing and encouraging, our study will provide more definitive information about the GC in aSAH. If there is a positive correlation, the results of this study will guide future investigations into new therapies for this devastating disease such as MMP inhibition with doxycycline.

Centralisation of neonatal intensive care has led to an increase in postnatal inter-hospital transfers within the first 72 hours of life. Studies have shown transported preterm infants have an increased risk of intraventricular haemorrhage compared to inborns. The cause is likely multi-factorial, however, during the transportation process infants are exposed to noxious stimuli (excessive noise, vibration and temperature fluctuations), which may result in microscopic brain injury. However, there is a paucity of evidence to evaluate the effect of noise and vibration exposure during transportation. In this study the investigators aim to quantify the level of vibration and noise as experienced by a preterm infant during inter-hospital transportation in ground ambulance in the United Kingdom Secondary aims of the study are to: i) measure the physiological and biochemical changes that occur as a result of ambulance transportation (ii) quantify microscopic brain injury through measurement of urinary S100B and other biomarkers (iii) evaluate the development of intraventricular haemorrhage on cranial ultrasound iv) monitor vibration and sound exposure, using a prototype measuring system, during neonatal transport using both a manikin and a small cohort of neonatal patients. v) evaluate vibration and sound exposure levels using an updated transportation system modified to reduce effects.

This study evaluates the pharmacokinetic profile of levetiracetam in critically ill patients who have suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patients will be evaluated for development of augmented renal clearance and the effects and duration of effects this may have on levetiracetam clearance.

Deficits in memory, executive function, and language are common cognitive sequelae of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Previous study demonstrated that post-treatment antiplatelet therapy reduced risk for delayed cerebral ischemia caused by aSAH. However, the effect of antiplatelet therapy on cognition after aSAH is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of antiplatelet therapy on cognition after aSAH.

This research evaluates the effects of prenatal factors on adverse pregnancy outcomes, the general demographic information, the level of maternal exposure to air pollution, the environmental condition, pregnancy-related information, the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and serum indicators of pregnant women during pregnancy are collected. Finally, the research explores that whether prenatal factors including environment can mediate the occurrence of maternal hemorrhage.

Acute Gastrointestinal (GI) Bleeding are a common chief complaint among Emergency Department. The mortality rate for Lower GI Bleeding is 3.9%. While the mortality rate can be as high as 10% for Upper GI Bleeding. Most existing scores take into account hemodynamic parameters such as systolic blood pressure or heart rate. Studies have shown that hemodynamic instability only develops late in the course of a bleed, as evidenced by a blood depletion of 30 to 40% of the total blood volume. Currently, few studies have examined the value of echocardiography in the management of patients presenting for Acute GI Bleeding in the Emergency Department. The main objective of this study is to show whether simple ultrasound parameters can, combined with clinico biological parameters, predict in an early manner the evolution of the patient presenting to the Emergency Department for Acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
