Active clinical trials for "Postpartum Hemorrhage"

Use of Tranexamic Acid for prevention of Postpartum hemorrhage in high risk patients: Randomized Control Trial

The overall aim of this project is to include currently available information from women with severe postpartum haemorrhage (sPPH) who were treated with NovoSeven® and to examine whether NovoSeven® may have affected the course of the PPH in these women, specifically the control of bleeding. Data will be included from previous cohort studies from four countries: United Kingdom (UK), the Netherlands, Denmark, and France.

There are many studies in the literature examining the effects of dates on pregnancy, birth and postpartum processes. However, no study has been found that examines the effect of women on the involution process in the early postpartum period. It is thought that this study will fill the gap in the literature with this study, which was conducted to determine the effect of date fed to women in the early postpartum period on uterine involution. The study was planned as a randomized controlled and experimental study to determine the effect of date fed to women in the early postpartum period on uterine involution. It will be held in the postpartum service of Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital between October - April 2021.

The Postpartum Haemorrhage (PPH) Butterfly is a simple, low-cost device which has been developed as a treatment method for PPH. It will be used to stop the bleeding through compression of the uterus of women having a PPH. It will be markedly easier to undertake than traditional bimanual compression, whilst also being significantly more acceptable to women themselves. Use of the PPH Butterfly will provide an alternative management option for PPH and in some cases should avoid the need for women to have to go to theatre for treatment. This research will allow the investigators to determine if they have the optimum size and shape of the device, that it will operate as intended when compressing the uterus, and to gauge its acceptability to participants and users. In phase I the investigators will recruit "healthy volunteers" i.e. women who have delivered their baby vaginally following Induction of labour (IOL) however these women will not be experiencing a PPH. The device is to be assessed purely on size, usability and acceptability not for diagnosis or as a treatment method. Following the delivery participants will be invited to have the PPH Butterfly inserted vaginally for an average of 2 minutes. It is through this that the investigators will assess the suitability of the device in its current design, when it is in practice. The clinician who operates the device will complete a Likert scale questionnaire along with some open questions following each administration. Participants will also answer a short questionnaire. .

The objective of this study is to investigate whether topical application of tranexamic acid into the uterine cavity and the surgical site intra-operatively can reduce blood loss and provide better surgical haemostasis in parturients with moderate to high risk for bleeding undergoing caesarean deliveries.

Postpartum hemorrhage is an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. In patients with severe preeclampsia there is an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage but the hemodynamic changes associated with this pathology make the management of any kind of bleeding particularly troublesome. There are many pharmacological options, being oxytocin the first line of treatment. However there is no evidence about the safety and efficacy of carbetocin, an oxytocin agonist. The investigators aimed to compare oxytocin with carbetocin for the routine prevention of postpartum hemorrhage in patients with severe preeclampsia.

The aim of this study is to assess the possible negative effects of uterine artery ligation on ovarian reserve markers and subsequent pregnancy outcomes

comparison of the effect of misoprostol before and after cesarean on the blood loss

Postpartum haemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal haemorrhage globally. With active management of labour 3 to 16.5% of parturients still experience postpartum haemorrhage. Hence the need for an effective oxytocic in third stage of labour.

Kenya is one of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa that still experience high maternal mortality. For instance, in 2008/09 maternal mortality ratio was estimated to be 488/100,000 live births. Direct obstetric complications such as puerperal sepsis, postpartum hemorrhage, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, obstructed labor and indirect causes including HIV, malaria and anemia in pregnancy are responsible for the majority of these cases. Just under 44% of births in Kenya are delivered under the supervision of a skilled birth attendant. The overall objective of this study is to determine the effect of provider type in the occurrence and management of serious childbirth related complications among postpartum women at the community level in Bungoma and Lugari Districts of Western Province, Kenya. The proposed study will employ a case control study design in which women with obstetric complication(s)will be cases and women without obstetric complications will be controls. Controls will be sampled concurrently with the cases. Each time a new case is diagnosed, a control is selected from the population at risk in the neighborhood at that point in time. The study population will consist of women aged 15-49 years with a delivery in the past 12 months. A woman who reports having experienced a birth-related complication will be recruited as a case while woman who reports having experienced no complication during child-birth will be recruited as a control.
