Active clinical trials for "Blood Loss, Surgical"

This is a single-center, prospective, observational study that will compare the blood transfusion rate between intraoperative bleeding severity characterized using the Validated Intraoperative Bleeding Scale (VIBe).

In endoscopic sinus surgery a clear surgical field of view is a very important aspect for good surgical outcome. This study is to evaluate the preoperative preparation to acquire best surgical field of view by comparing between the use of topical adrenaline and the use of combination of topical adrenaline with infiltration of 1% lidocaine with adrenaline in patients scheduled for endoscopic sinus surgery for rhinosinusitis.

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial of the Suction-Integrated Surgical Tissue Elevator & Retractor [SISTER] device to assess: Effects on operative time and efficiency of exposure in open lumbar spine cases. Effect on total blood loss during the exposure part of the operation. Rate of clogging of suction device.

Purpose of the study: To evaluate the effect of tranexamic acid (TXA) of intraoperative blood loss in patients subjected to bi-maxillary orthognathic surgery To evaluate the potential effect of TXA on fibrin structure To evaluate the potential effect of TXA of binding of plasminogen to fibrin To evaluate the potential effect of TXA on postoperative edema formation. Hypothesis: H0: Intraoperative bleeding cannot be significantly reduced by preoperative administration of tranexamic acid H0,1: Postoperative edema cannot be significantly reduced by preoperative administration of tranexamic acid

Evaluation of efficacy by determination of transfusion requirements and safety by determination of adverse events in administration of Von Willebrand factor concentrate F VIII (Haemate).

The primary objective of this exploratory cohort study is to describe levels of platelet reactivity in patients on a thienopyridine awaiting coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Despite of marked improvements in clinical management, early postpartum hemorrhage(PPH)remains a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality both in developing countries and in hospitals equipped with all that modern medicine has to offer. This complication is amongst the most challenging that a clinician will face in the obstetric patient. Prevention, early recognition and prompt appropriate intervention are the keys to minimizing the impact of PPH on women's health. Patients undergoing Cesarean sections following failure to progress in labor are at great risk for PPH and should theoretically benefit from an additional uterotonic agent. This study will be conducted to define whether the addition of ergonovine maleate to oxytocin, administered in a prophylactic way, reduces blood loss during Cesarean section for failure to progress in labor.

This study compares two oral medications (tranexamic acid and aminocaproic acid) as hemostatic agent administered in patients undergoing primary total hip replacement

Preoperative anemia is associated with an important increase in transfusions of red blood cells (RBC) compared to a non-anemic patient in cardiac and non cardiac surgery. Furthermore transfusion is also an independent factor of morbi-mortality with notably an increase in the infectious risk, immunological, an increase of the risk of cardiac decompensation, respiratory decompensation Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) or Transfusion Associated Cardiac Overload (TACO), and an increase in mortality of 16%. Management of perioperative transfusion is therefore a public health issue. Since 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been promoting a systematic approach to implement blood management programs for the patient to optimize the use of resources and promote quality and safety of care. Improving the relevance of transfusion in cardiac surgery could be achieved by optimizing the management of patients around 2 axis: A:non-drug intervention : Review of Practices to Improve the Management of Perioperative RBC Transfusion B:drug intervention : Systematic correction of pre- and postoperative iron, vitamin deficiencies and anemia The aim of this program is to improve the relevance of transfusion in cardiac surgery and to limit the morbidity and mortality induced by transfusion. This program is part of a global project of pre, per and postoperative management of the patient undergoing cardiac surgery programmed under extracorporeal circulation (ECC). It requires a multidisciplinary approach between cardiologists, anesthesiologists and intensivists, perfusionists, cardiac surgeons and paramedical teams to optimize the management of the patient.

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a commonly performed procedure. It is known that bleeding during FESS can affect directly to the visibility of safe landmarks and surgical outcomes.
