Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

This randomized double blinded trial seeks to determine whether tranexamic acid (TXA) is an efficacious treatment for contraceptive induced menstrual changes (CIMC) including irregular, bothersome bleeding caused by the etonogestrel subdermal contraceptive implant (ENG implant). Participants will be randomized into the TXA treatment arm or a placebo. They will begin taking the medication after three consecutive days of bleeding. Participants will track their bleeding using an automated text message service

The objectives of this study are to determine if transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation (tAN) can modulate hemostasis, improve perceived quality of life, and improve pain during the menstrual cycle of von Willebrand Disease (VWD) patients.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) can cause a severe headache (HA) that is famously treatment-resistant. Current pain regimens are too reliant on opioids, which results in long-term opioid dependence and can obfuscate the neurological examination, which is critical to detect vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia. This study will gather the initial evidence of whether the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) regional anesthesia nerve block can treat aSAH-related HA and reduce opioid consumption in patients with aSAH.

Calcium is a life saving medicine in the care of parturients. It has many important uses including treatment of hypocalcemia, treatment of magnesium toxicity, prevention of hypocalcemia during blood transfusion (of citrate containing blood products), treatment of hyperkalemia, and others. Recent clinical trials also suggest that calcium given after cord clamping may decrease blood loss in patients undergoing cesarean delivery. 2 FDA approved forms of calcium can be given intravenously: calcium chloride and calcium gluconate. Over the last decade there have been times with drug shortages of either calcium chloride or calcium gluconate. So there have been and likely will continue to be times when one formulation or the other may not be adequately available. Despite the importance of calcium and the frequency in which it is used in parturients, there are no published studies in parturients to determine dose equivalence between calcium gluconate and calcium chloride. In this study the investigators will determine the population pharmacokinetics of calcium gluconate and calcium chloride in parturients and calculate the dose equivalent ratio the two drugs. This will help clinicians select appropriate doses of calcium and provide resilience to the drug supply chain in our era of frequent drug shortages.

This was a randomized, single-center trial. On the basis of standard-of-care, patients in the treatment group inhaled H2-O2 (66% hydrogen; 33% oxygen) at 3 L/min via nasal cannula by using the Hydrogen/Oxygen Generator (model AMS-H-03, Shanghai Asclepius Meditech Co., Ltd., China) during a 7-day stay in the intensive care unit. Patients in the control group received standard-of-care (consisting of oxygen therapy) alone. This study intends to apply Hydrogen/Oxygen Generator in clinical patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), exploring the role of hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas inhalation therapy in early brain injury, and the prevention of cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia, finally providing a scientific basis for hydrogen treatment of aSAH.

The goal of this interventional study is to test a hemostasis screening protocol and cardiac peri-procedural and post-operative hemostasis pathway to improving bleeding complications and improve patient survival for children with Alagille syndrome and complex cardiac conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are children with Alagille syndrome with cardiac anomalies more likely to have acquired von Willebrand syndrome (a condition that causes increased bleeding) Does implementation of a novel screening protocol to detect pre-operative bleeding conditions decrease intra-operative and/or post-operative bleeding complications and mortality risk? Does implementation of a novel screening protocol to detect and treat bleeding conditions cause thrombotic complications? Participants will undergo additional hematology and bleeding disorder screening prior to cardiac surgery. They will additionally undergo a detailed family screening for a history of bleeding by a genetic counselor. Researchers will compare these findings with children who have similar complex cardiac conditions requiring surgery, but who do not have Alagille syndrome to see if bleeding conditions and complications are more or less common in children with Alagille syndrome.

Coblation is a unique method of delivering radio frequency energy to the soft tissue for applications in otolaryngology. It induces reduction of the inferior turbinate by vaporizing and destroying the soft erectile tissue. The volume reduction and tissue fibrosis are immediate and sustainable. Bleeding from the vascular capillary beds of the sinonasal mucosa compromises the surgical field and increases operative time and risk of complications. In this study we try to assist hemostasis with a multifaceted approach, including use of topical vasoconstrictors "phenylephrine" and systemic antifibrinolytic agent "tranexamic acid".

The aim of this randomized controlled interventional study is to identify the effect of the use of an abdominal binder on postpartum pain, bleeding, and breastfeeding success in primiparous women who have undergone planned cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia.

Blood collected from blood donors is routinely divided into its different components, red blood cells, plasma and platelets. These components are stored under different storage conditions and their maximum storage time before transfusion is different. Platelets are stored at a maximum of 7 days and at a temperature of 22°C to best preserve their function. Research has been conduction on blood stored and transfused as whole blood (without separation into the various components), particularly in situations of acute trauma. Region Örebro län will therefore start transfusion of whole blood in such situations. The whole blood units will be stored at 4°C for a maximum of 14 days. This means that the platelets will be stored at a lower temperature than standard and for a longer time period. The research on how this will affect platelet function is limited. This project aims to determine how the patients are affected regarding coagulation, hemolysis, renal function, immunisation, transfusion reactions and the effect of substances released from the blood cells in the whole blood units during the storage period and if there is an impact on mortality.
