Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

External validation of the clinical pre-hospital "Red- Flag" alert for activation of intra-hospital hemorrhage control response in blunt trauma.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability across the globe. Time from injury to treatment is the most critical factor that determines the patient's recovery. Mild TBI with no apparent symptoms are often left undiagnosed, thus delaying the treatment and hence recovery. CEREBO® is a non-invasive, rapid, near-infrared based, point-of-care device that can detect an intracranial bleed at an early stage.

Post-partum haemorrhage due to placenta previa is usually from the placental bed at the lower uterine segment and it occurs after the placenta separation. Although, nowadays the obstetrician can diagnose placenta previa before delivery, it is still one of the important causes of maternal mortality . Hysterectomy can be the only effective action to take, although it carries many morbidities for the women especially those with low parity. Uterine packing considers as a line of treatment before performing surgical procedures in postpartum hemorrhage resulting from placental site bleeding. It can save life, avoid laparotomy and save uterus. Nowadays, the use of intrauterine balloons have been developed and become effective for the control of placental site bleeding not responding to medical treatment. The 2-way Foley's Cather has many advantages over the gauze packing; First, it allows drainage of blood so no occult bleeding could be accumulated inside the uterus as in uterine gauze, second the removal of the Foley's Cather balloon is easy and not a painful, third, the removal of 2-way Foley's Cather could be gradually as a test of its effectiveness before complete removal .

The Copper intrauterine device is the most common method of reversible contraception worldwide. Abnormal uterine bleeding and pain are the most common medical indications for the discontinuation of the intrauterine device. Excessive prostaglandin release in the endometrial cavity appears to play an important role in both bleeding and pain related to copper intrauterine devices.There are many types of prostaglandin metabolites that present in the endometrium one of them is prostacyclin which causes vasodilatation and inhibits platelet aggregation. Another one is thromboxane which has two types; A2 which is active and rapidly converted into B2, which is inactive. Thromboxane causes vasoconstriction and blood clotting. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors acting by decreasing production of endometrial prostaglandins; they can improve both heavy uterine bleeding and pain. Since its discovery; several drugs in NSAIDs class have been used to treat heavy uterine bleeding and pain associated with copper intrauterine device use such as mefenamic acid, ibuprofen and naproxen. The most recent systematic review found NSAIDs is the most widely studied drugs for reduction of the menstrual blood and pain associated with copper intrauterine device. The Cochrane Review also found that NSAIDs are the most effective treatment to reduce the bleeding with copper intrauterine device use.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate prophylactic fresh frozen plasma transfusion in patients with moderately elevated international normalized ratios (INR) prior to undergoing an invasive procedure.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the early administration of intravenous (IV) Tranexamic acid (TA) on perioperative bleeding (as defined by measured intraoperative estimated blood loss (EBL), change in pre and post-operative hemoglobin (Hb), and frequency of blood transfusions) in women undergoing a myomectomy.

This is a prospective, randomized and controlled study to find out if a rotational thromboelastometry(ROTEM) guided treatment protocol reduces the need for blood transfusions in major obstetric haemorrhage compared to standard care of clinical decision making, conventional coagulation tests and massive transfusion protocol. Secondary aim is to find out if ROTEM can predict the incidence of thromboembolic events in this patient group.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the superior efficacy versus placebo of OBE2109 alone and in combination with add-back therapy for the reduction of heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids in premenopausal women.

This study tests the feasibility of a large study of stress ulcer prophylaxis in critically ill children. Children admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit who are expected to require mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours will be randomized to intravenous pantoprazole 1 mg/kg or matching placebo once daily until they no longer need mechanical ventilation.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Rifaximin in the treatment of cirrhotic gastroesophageal variceal bleeding.
