Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of irregular heart rhythm. In people with AF, blood clots often form in the heart, which can travel to the brain. Blockage of brain arteries by these clots is a major cause of stroke. This type of stroke is called an ischaemic stroke and approximately 15% of all ischaemic strokes are caused by AF. People with AF are often prescribed a medication called an anticoagulant, which makes it less likely for blood clots to form and thus can prevent ischaemic strokes. However, anticoagulants also increase the risk of bleeding, so they are not suitable for everyone. Some people who have AF have had a different type of stroke which is caused by bleeding in the brain, an intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). These people are at increased risk of suffering both an ischaemic stroke (due to AF) and another ICH. It is not known whether it is best for these people to take an anticoagulant medication or not, as previous research studies did not include this group of people. PREvention of STroke in Intracerebral haemorrhaGE survivors with Atrial Fibrillation (PRESTIGE-AF) is a research study on the best stroke prevention in people with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have recently had a bleeding in their brain, (ICH). This is a trial where half of the participants will take an anticoagulant medication, preventing blood clot formation, and half will not receive an anticoagulant. The direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) that will be used in this trial are all licenced for use in the United Kingdom and within the European Union (EU) to prevent strokes in people with AF. However, the current licence does not extend to use with people who have had an ICH because it has not been tested in this group with a randomised controlled trial. DOACs will be tested in ICH survivors with AF because previous research trials have shown that people are up to 50% less likely to have bleeding complications in the brain with DOACs than with Warfarin (another commonly used anticoagulant). The aim of PRESTIGE-AF is to answer the question of whether people with ICH and AF should take an anticoagulant medication or if it is better for them to avoid it.
Hyperoxygenation for resuscitation of abnormal fetal heart rate tracings has been routine obstetric practice. However, there have not been any studies to support this practice. Recent literature have either found no associated benefit to intrapartum maternal oxygen administration, or in a number of studies demonstrated higher risk of neonatal complications. Despite these studies, the evidences have not been adequate to change the clinical practice because the majority of these studies either focused on biological differences rather than clinical outcomes data or were retrospective rather than randomized trials. Therefore, the investigators propose a large single center randomized clinical trial to determine the effects of maternal hyperoxygenation therapy for the treatment of fetal heart rate tracing abnormalities.
The main objective of this study is to determine the one-year neurological outcome of patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) for a primary and spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH).
Need for perioperative blood transfusion is still high in certain types of oncological abdominal surgery. Allogeneic blood transfusion may be detrimental in cancer patients undergoing a potentially curative resection of malignant tumor, although the detailed mechanism of this effect is still under debate. We plan to evaluate whether a new, rotational thromboelastography-guided algorithm (ROTEM) to guide hemostatic resuscitation intra-operatively decreases the use of allogeneic blood products, the total amount of bleeding, transfusion related side effects, thromboembolic complications and costs. Its effect on each patient's post-operative hemostatic profile is also measured. 60 patients having a potentially curative pancreaticoduodenectomy (or resection of cauda of pancreas), total removal or partial resection of kidney and open radical cystectomy are recruited when an active blood loss of more than 1500 ml is estimated and/or measured and are randomized into two groups: one will be treated conventionally, ie. using massive transfusion protocol (MTP) if necessary, clinical judgement and conventional coagulation tests, the other treated using a ROTEM-based algorithm.
This trial is a phase III multicentre blinded randomised controlled clinical non-inferiority trial of cryopreserved platelets vs. conventional liquid-stored platelets for the management of surgical bleeding. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety and cost effectiveness of cryopreserved platelets, compared to conventional liquid-stored platelets, for the management of surgical bleeding. This trial will recruit cardiac surgical patients deemed to be at high risk of surgical bleeding and who may potentially require transfusion of platelets. It is estimated to require 808 high-risk cardiac surgical patients to be recruited, to obtain 202 patients who receive transfused study platelets for surgical bleeding.
The objectives of the RECONFIG clinical study are to : 1. To identify the time to the first diagnosis of cognitive motor dissociation (CMD) in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients and to investigate whether these patients will clinically follow commands earlier after the hemorrhage. 2. To determine whether CMD independently predicts long term functional outcomes (6-month mRS scores) in ICH patients, and is associated with long term cognitive and quality of life outcomes. 3. To determine the EEG response to verbal commands of the motor imagery paradigm between patients with and without sensory aphasia. The overall goal is to determine predictors and the trajectory of neurological recovery.
The purpose of this study is to establish a benchmark for measuring blood loss by directly measuring the change in red cell volume before and after surgery and to compare established blood loss estimators to this benchmark in order to determine the most accurate and precise method for estimating blood loss in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery patients
This study evaluates the effectiveness of brushing and flossing sequence in the control of dental plaque and gingival inflammation.
The purpose is, in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage in the early phase after ictus, to examine the following: 1. The effect of spontaneous and induced changes on the brain's static and dynamic autoregulation calculated by transcranial Doppler (TCD), ICP and MAP (primary purposes) and ICP and PbtO2; 2. The effect of mild hyper- and hypocapnia as well as of mild hyper- and hypoxia on the brain's static and dynamic autoregulation, ICP and PbtO2; 3. The relationship between brain autoregulation, mild hyper- and hypocapnia, as well as of mild hyper- and hypoxia and metabolism in microdialysate on the one hand and the occurrence of DCI during hospitalization and poor neurological outcome one year after ictus on the other.
