Active clinical trials for "Postpartum Hemorrhage"

The aim of the study is to evaluate the uterine artery doppler just before labour in term low risk pregnancies. And to investigate with this measurement if investigators could foreseen the amount of postpartum hemorrhage looking at decreased in the hematocrit values.

The aim of the study is to determine if thromboelastography parameters can be predictive of severe post partum hemorrhage.

A rare case of disastrous delayed postpartum hemorrhage after three days of shenghua decoction treatment.

This pilot study will evaluate the performance of the Quantra System comprised of the Quantra Hemostasis Analyzer with the QStat Cartridge in trauma patients or patients with OB hemorrhage.

Maintaining intraoperative normothermia and temperature measurement is a marker of quality of care. We know that intraoperative hypothermia is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, infection of the surgical wound, a longer hospital stay, discomfort, hemorrhage and transfusion demand. Goals: To know the incidence of perioperative hypothermia in routine clinical practice in different surgical settings in a national reference university hospital. To establish if hypothermia is a risk factor for developing postoperative complications, focusing mainly on bleeding and infection of the surgical wound, in subjects aged between 18-65 years who come to the La Paz University Hospital for a surgical intervention in the Obstetrics / Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery Services. Hospital-based cohort study. A two-year follow-up of patients between 18 and 65 years will be carried out. Those patients with haemostasis disorders and infections in the preoperative period will be excluded. Using a questionnaire on sociodemographic variables, the baseline conditions of the patients will be evaluated for inclusion in the study. Subsequently, the temperature will be measured at the beginning and at the end of the surgery, as well as during admission to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit, where the temperature normalization time will be noted in the event of hypothermia. In retrospect, those variables corresponding to the late postoperative period will be evaluated and the telephone interview will be conducted to assess the quality of care received. All the data will be reflected in the collection booklet that we present in the annex. Patient demographics, case characteristics, and temperature records were summarized using descriptive statistics. Microsoft Excel (Professional Plus 2010, version 14); it was used for data management and processing, with Stata (version 14; StataCorp LP, College Station, TX) for graphical representations and statistical tests. A multivariate analysis of potential confounding factors will be performed. These results will serve to know the incidence of hypothermia according to the usual practice in a Spanish tertiary hospital and to establish recommendations in the management of intraoperative hypothermia and its prevention.

The patients were divided randomly in to 2 GROUPS: control group: 153 patients received Oxytocin 10 IU I.V shot administered at the time of delivery of the anterior shoulder of the baby according to the WHO recommendation for both groups in prevention of postpartum haemorrhage,followed by active management of the third stage of labor by administration of oxytocin 5 IU units IM (WHO GDG recommendations,2012) and waiting for signs of placental separation then controlled cord traction (CCT)to the umbilical cord while applying simultaneous counter-pressure to the uterus, through the abdomen(Brandt Andrews maneuver) study group:156 patients received Oxytocin 10 IU I.V shot at the time of delivery of the of the anterior shoulder of the baby according to the WHO recommendation .Then oxytocin is stopped and cervical traction (Amr maneuver )is applied.

This retrospective, monocentric study aims to examine risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage in women with histologically verified placenta accreta. Women with histologically verified placenta accreta are divided into two groups: women with normal blood loss (BV < 500 ml) versus women with increased blood loss (BV ≥ 500 ml). The clinical data of pregnant women with histologically verified placental disorders, who gave birth in the Women's Clinic University Hospital Basel (USB) between 1986 and 2019, are compared with each other.

Postpartum haemorrhage remains at the top of the causes of maternal deaths in both developed and developing countries .

The present study aims to determine the relationship between postpartum changes in the shock index and the severity of blood loss and other PPH results. Blood loss, heart rate and blood pressure will be systematically measured in the postpartum period in all participating women to explore new clinical indicators to identify those requiring clinical intervention for excessive bleeding.

Major obstetric haemorrhage (MOH) remains a cause of significant maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. By identifying women with a higher a priori risk of major haemorrhage during their pregnancy or early during postpartum haemorrhage extra measures to prevent MOH can be taken. In this study the investigators aim to identify haemostatic parameters that during the course of haemorrhage are responsible for the on-going towards major bleeding. By doing this, cut-off points can be defined for future interventions aiming to stop this bleeding process in an early stage. Traditional coagulation parameters are currently not useful for clinical decision making, because of long turn around times. Therefore the added value of available coagulation 'point of care' tests will be evaluated during obstetric haemorrhage.These Point-of-Care (POC) tests could lead to a goal-directed haemostatic therapy for obstetric haemorrhage. A cohort of 9.500 pregnant women will be followed during their pregnancy and delivery. From all women a bleeding score will be obtained during their pregnancy by means of a validated questionnaire. The predictive value of this bleeding score for the occurrence of major obstetric haemorrhage will be evaluated. If postpartum haemorrhage develops (blood loss) > 1000 cc, blood samples will be drawn for conventional haemostatic parameters and ROTEM profiles. The pathway between minor bleeding and major bleeding will be elucidated. Interchangeability and comparability of conventional haemostatic parameters and ROTEM profiles will also be evaluated. The overall goal of the investigators is becoming more able to predict major obstetric haemorrhage in an early stage of postpartum haemorrhage and define thresholds for goal-directed hemostatic therapies.
