Filter by:The purpose of the study is to assess the coagulation changes that occur in patients undergoing elective Cesarean delivery using thromboelastography (TEG). We will compare coagulation data to assess potential coagulation changes associated with hemoglobin changes before and after surgery, and related to estimated blood loss.
The study investigates safety, feasibility and effectiveness of cervical spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in prevention of cerebral arterial vasospasm following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). It is postulated that 2 week long stimulation of the cervical spinal cord using an implanted epidural electrode will prevent or decrease severity of cerebral arterial vasospasm following aSAH.
The study's objective is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tranexamic acid for adult patients with moderate to severe TBI.With the research question as "Does TXA reduce the incidence of progressive intracranial haemorrhage by 50% compared to placebo in moderate to severe adult TBI patients at Khon Kaen Hospital?"
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of clopidogrel or aspirin reactivity as measured by a point-of-care platelet function assay on thrombotic or bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug eluting or bare metal stent. Methods: Platelet reactivity on clopidogrel and aspirin therapy is measured before PCI with VerifyNow (Accumetrics Inc.,San Diego, CA, USA) P2Y12 or aspirin assay respectively in 1000 consecutive patients from 20 centers in France undergoing coronary angioplasty with stent. Exclusion criteria are: Acute myocardial infarction, treatment with vitamin K antagonists and the use of antiGP2b3a before PCI. All patients are pre-treated with clopidogrel and aspirin. Non-response to aspirin or clopidogrel is determined according to the result of the VerifyNow assay (cut off : < 15 % for P2Y12 and > 550 ARU for aspirin). The primary end point is the occurrence of definite or probable stent thrombosis (ARC definition) and the secondary end-points include global and cardio-vascular mortality, non fatal myocardial infarction and major bleeding. A clinical evaluation is scheduled at discharge and by telephone contact at one month and one year.
There are few treatments for central fever (fever that is due to the central nervous system, as opposed to an infectious source). We hypothesize that an externally applied cooling blanket will reduce temperature in neurologically ill patients with central fever.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of pre- and intra-operative bevacizumab injection on postoperative vitreous hemorrhage after diabetic vitrectomy.
This multicentre open-label randomized parallel-group trial aims to evaluate the association intermittent pneumatic compression + elastick stockings versus elasting stockings alone on symptomatic or asymptomatic venous thromboembolism incidence, evaluated systematically at day 6 (+/-2days), in patients hospitalized in intensive care units and with high bleeding risk.
In unselected cirrhotic patients with acute portal hypertension-related bleeding to compare the effectiveness in control of bleeding, mortality rate, duration of life, quality of life, and economic costs of two widely used treatment measures: (1) emergency transjugular intrahepatic portal-systemic shunt (TIPS), and (2) emergency portacaval shunt.
Intraoperative blood loss is a major concern during hepatic resection, as it has been shown to adversely affect patients' perioperative outcome. Reduction of central venous pressure during parenchymal transection has been shown to effectively lower liver hemorrhage. While CVP reduction is mainly achieved via fluid restriction and diuretics, dehydration may impair organ function. Moreover, it may lead to hemodynamic instability, particularly in case of severe bleeding. For this reason the technique of infrahepatic inferior vena cava clamping has been suggested which is able to lower CVP without the need for fluid restriction. In the present study the two strategies to reduce CVP and by this intraoperative bleeding, namely fluid restriction and inferior vena cava clamping are compared with intraoperative blood loss as primary endpoint.
The main purposes of this study are to compare clinical outcomes of two groups of patients with similar medical conditions (one with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal (UGI) lesions such as ulcers and another group with varices or portal hypertensive lesions) who are treated either with current standard visually guided endoscopic treatment according to stigmata of hemorrhage or with endoscopic Doppler endoscopic ultrasound probe (DEP) monitoring of blood flow in the lesion.
