Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

This is a single-center, single-blind, randomized parallel superiority trial comparing two groups; Sternum GuardTM as the treatment arm and Bone Wax as the active control group. Both investigated modalities are materials used during sternotomy for covering the sewn sternal edge. The primary outcomes of this study comprised of four parameters; namely surgical site infection (superficial or deep infection), sternal dehiscence, hemostatic effect, and surgeon's satisfaction rate. The first three primary outcomes were assessed during the operation, at the end of the hospital stay, 14 days, and 30-days postoperative.

This study seeks to assess whether populations of women in Latin America outside Quito, Ecuador are at increased risk for developing elevated body temperature above 40.0°C following PPH treatment with 800mcg sublingual misoprostol. The study will be carried out in hospitals representative of different regions of Latin America to explore environmental and genetic hypotheses related to the occurrence of misoprostol-induced fever. Postpartum blood loss, pulse and blood pressure will be systematically measured for all women enrolled to explore new clinical indicators for identifying women who require clinical intervention for excessive bleeding. Blood samples will be collected among women treated with misoprostol to investigate genetic factors responsible for elevated body temperature induced by misoprostol. The investigators hypothesize that rates of high fever (≥40.0°C) following misoprostol treatment (800mcg given sublingually) will be variable across settings. The investigators expect that the side effect profile following 800 mcg misoprostol given sublingually, in particular the rates of any shivering and fever ≥38.0°C, will be comparable to previous results using misoprostol for PPH.

This study is a randomized control trial in volunteer blood donors to quantify the effect of blood loss and subsequent crystalloid infusion on hemoglobin and markers of resuscitation such as base deficit and lactate.

The purpose of this study is to study whether a drug called tamoxifen can reduce vaginal bleeding in women who are using the Etonogestrel contraceptive implant.

The objective of this study is to determine whether a goal-directed therapy can reduce the incidence of delayed cerebral ischaemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.

The purpose of this study is to compare Floseal to our standard of care (SOC) to decrease intraoperative and immediate post-operative bleeding.

Patients having Cesarean section after they have been in labor for many hours bleed much more, in average twice as much, as compared with patients having an elective Cesarean section. The investigators believe a simple change in practice might contribute to reduce this bleeding. This study will involve the use of oxytocin (also known as syntocinon), ergonovine (also known as ergot) and carboprost (also known as hemabate). Oxytocin is routinely used to help contract the uterus and keep it contracted after the delivery of the baby and placenta, so as to reduce the amount of blood loss. Ergonovine is also given through the intravenous line, while carboprost is given as an injection in the muscle. Although they are not routinely given in every case, these are very frequently given as rescue medications to patients who fail to respond appropriately to oxytocin. This study is designed to determine if ergonovine or carboprost given in association with oxytocin, in a preventive way, after delivery of the baby and placenta, can reduce the amount of blood loss during Cesarean sections following a trial of labour.

The purpose of the present study is the clinical assessment of the efficacy of preincisional peritonsillar infiltration of dexmedetomidine on postoperative pain relief in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy.

This study aims to assess postoperative blood loss and transfusion rates in total hip replacement after one-time administration of topical tranexamic acid.

This is a double-blinded, randomized, prospective placebo-controlled clinical trial to be conducted within the Mayo Clinic and the Mayo Clinic Health System. The goal of the research study is to gather information to determine whether Doxycycline is effective for the treatment of unacceptable bleeding associated with the etonogestrel subdermal implant (ESI), as compared to placebo.
