Filter by:Hematoma is a common complication of alloplastic breast reconstruction. This can lead to pain and discomfort experienced by the patient, in addition to greater use of valuable healthcare resources. Previous studies have shown correlation between the use of tranexamic acid (TXA), an anti-fibrinolytic, and reduced post-surgical bleeding complication events. In this randomized control trial (RCT) assessing TXA use in alloplastic breast reconstruction, one breast will be randomized to have TXA applied topically, while the other will have normal saline (NS) placebo applied. The primary objective of this prospective blinded randomized control trial study is to determine if the administration of topical TXA in alloplastic breast reconstruction reduces the incidence of surgical site hematoma compared to placebo within 2 weeks following surgery. The results of this study will be used to inform the design of a larger multicentered RCT on TXA in breast surgery.
Hematoma is a common complication of bilateral breast reduction (BBR) surgery. This can lead to pain and discomfort experienced by the patient, in addition to greater use of valuable healthcare resources. Previous studies have shown correlation between the use of tranexamic acid (TXA), an anti-fibrinolytic, and reduced post-surgical bleeding complication events. In this randomized control trial (RCT) evaluation TXA use in BBR, for which one breast will be randomized to have TXA applied topically, while the other will have normal saline (NS) placebo applied. The primary objective of this prospective blinded randomized control trial study is to determine if the administration of topical TXA in BBR reduces the incidence of surgical site hematoma compared to placebo within 2 weeks following surgery. The results of this study will be used to inform the design of a larger multicentered RCT on TXA in breast surgery.
As the number of implanted cardiovascular implanted electronic devices (CIEDs) increases, the incidence of their complications also grows. Pocket hematoma is an important complication of CIED implantation, which has been reported in 2.9-9.5% of CIEDs patients. Pocket hematoma can cause significant pain and interfere with proper wound healing, and it also increased the risk of infection and may prolong length of stay. Pocket compression is usually applied to compress bleeding vessels and reduce bleeding after implantation. A conventional compression method is to place a sandbag over the pocket, and then using adhesive tape to fix the sandbag. Due to adhesive tape is elastic and the tape may be pulled by patients' activity, sandbag easily migrated from the site. Therefore, nurse must readjust the position of sandbag, or even remove the adhesive tape and perform re-compress. Furthermore, adhesive tape can cause skin erosion. All of which not only result in patients' discomfort and dissatisfaction, but also increase the burden on nurses and wastes resources. We designed a pocket compression fixation belt. We assumed that using this fixation belt can ensure the compression effect while avoiding sand bag displacement, reducing skin erosion and decrease the workload of care.
