Active clinical trials for "Placenta Previa"

To assess the efficacy and safety of alternative magnesium sulfate regimens when used as single agent tocolytic therapy for prevention of preterm labour in patients with symptomatic placenta previa and subsequent changes in the cervical length .

Objective: To assess the efficacy of lower uterine compression sutures (involved bilateral uterine artery ligation and compression of the lower uterine segment at the same time with one circular stitch) as a conservative treatment for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage in women with placenta previa complete centralis. Method: This prospective study of 50 women with postpartum hemorrhage following removal of placenta previa complete centralis during elective cesarean section. All 50 patients will have lower uterine compression sutures (involving bilateral uterine artery ligation and compression of the lower uterine segment at the same time with one circular stitch). All patients will be followed postpartum for evaluation of uterine cavity and menstrual cycles

Placenta previa and accreta both could potentially cause serious postpartum hemorrhage and even maternal death. Interventional radiological techniques have been developed to limit massive hemorrhage during caesarean section. This study investigated the efficacy of prophylactic internal iliac artery balloon catheterization in management for placenta previa and accreta.

Placenta praevia and accreta spectrum disorders are rising in incidence due to increased rate of repeat caesarean sections. Peripartum hysterectomy remains the only definitive treatment of massive postpartum haemorrhage related to this condition. A multitude of conservative treatments is described in literature, which includes pelvic devascularization under radiological control, myometrial resection with placenta in situ, and various suturing techniques some involving inversion of cervix. Variable success rates are described, but search continues for a simple, safe and effective treatment. Such a surgical technique i.e. A. Chohan Continuous Squeezing Suture (ACCSS) is described in this study for controlling haemorrhage from the lower uterine segment at caesarean section for placenta praevia and accrete spectrum disorders.

To assess the ability of clinical and sonographic variables to predict the need of blood transfusion > 4 units of packed RBCS in women undergoing cesarian section for placenta previa .

Cesarean section (C/S) is an operation most commonly performed in Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics. Complications related with incomplete healing of Kerr uterine incision after C/S (adhesions, separation (dehiscence), endometritis, endometriosis, anomalous placentation in subsequent pregnancies, incomplete or complete uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies, ...) are very important issues. Classically Kerr incision is repaired with continuous locked suturing. Purse string suturing of Kerr incision may reduce the size of the incision and in turn may reduce short and long term complications. For this reason, the investigators aimed to compare two closure techniques.

The objective of our study is to determine the clinical utility related to the maintenance oral nifedipine therapy in patients with symptomatic placenta previa. This study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial with the inclusion, after 24 weeks gestation, of hospitalized patients with symptomatic placenta praevia. All patients may initially receive oral nifedipine therapy with steroid prophylaxis for 48 hours. After then, patients are randomly assigned to receive either oral nifedipine (20 mg every 8 hours) or placebo (one every 8 hours) until 37 weeks of gestation. The primary outcome for the trial is the length of pregnancy in days after the enrollment. A sample size calculation is designed to detect at least a 14 -day difference in time gained in patients with maintenance oral nifedipine therapy. A sample size of about 52 patients per group would have a 80 % chance of detecting this difference at the 5 % level of significance.

Tranexamic Acid Use in Elective Cesarean Section for Women With Placenta Previa

Antepartum hemorrhage is defined as bleeding from or within the female genital tract, occurring from 28+0 weeks of pregnancy and till delivery of the fetus. it occurs in 3-5% of pregnancies and is an important cause of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide

Post - partum haemorrhage is still a headache to all obstetricians around the whole world . Every obstetrician exerts his own full effort to control bleeding which can occur post-partum by applying all maneuvers to preserve the fertility and the uterus for the patient . demonstration of ( Mostafa Maged ) technique is applied to control and prevent post-partum haemorrhage . It is so simple maneuver and easy to be applied within short period of time .Satisfactory hemostasis can be assessed after application .
