Filter by:The aim of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate the hidden blood loss in patients who undergo laparoendoscopic single-site radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy and identity its risk factors.
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of 24-hour vs 72-hour octreotide infusion after variceal banding in cirrhotic patients with bleeding esophageal varices.
Up to 15% of operations in cardio-pulmonary by-pass are complicated by excessive postoperative blood loss, which negatively affects the outcomes. Recently, it has been demonstrated that fibrin clot susceptibility to lysis is a modulator of postoperative blood loss after cardiac surgery for aortic stenosis. Earlier, a preliminary study showed a negative association of postoperative blood loss after coronary artery by-pass grafting (CABG) with fibrin clot lysis time, reflecting susceptibility to fibrinolysis. In CABG, postoperative blood loss may depend on the operative technique with respect to left internal mammary artery (LIMA) harvesting. LIMA is taken down in virtually all CABG procedures, but harvesting technical details remain at surgeons discretion (skeletonization without opening the pleural cavity vs. pedicled graft with pleura wide open). The investigators decided to test the hypothesis that fibrin clot properties modulate the postoperative drainage following CABG strongly enough to attenuate the influence of surgical technique by randomizing the patients undergoing CABG with regard to LIMA harvesting technique.
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effectiveness of an online Spanish cognitive intervention program in Latino/Hispanic Spanish-speaking subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. In particular, the researchers will examine whether cognitive impairments associated with a subarachnoid hemorrhagic event improve after completing the online cognitive intervention program. Secondary outcomes of the research study include examining whether there is an improvement in research participants' quality of life and psychological functioning as a result of the online Spanish cognitive intervention program.
To evaluate the safety and accuracy of the Saranas EBBMS for the detection of access site related internal bleeding events during large-bore endovascular procedures.
The purpose of this project is to test how ketamine, an analgesics currently employed in the pre-hospital setting by the US Army, alters the capacity to tolerate a hemorrhagic insult in humans.
This is an observational, retrospective, analytical, and multicenter study conducted at 17 hospitals. Our research aims to assess the effectiveness of Hemospray® in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding in clinical practice. Besides, we aim to detect predictors of treatment failure defined as unsuccessful immediate hemostasis or rebleeding.
Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 15-20% of all strokes in Western Europe, and contributes profoundly to mortality and disability. Thirty day case fatality is 40% and of those surviving, only few gain independence. Except for stroke unit care and early blood pressure lowering there is currently no treatment of proven benefit. Important predictors of poor outcome are increasing age, decreasing Glasgow Coma Scale score, increasing ICH volume, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage and deep or infratentorial location. In addition, secondary injury due to development of edema and inflammatory response, contribute to disability and death. Surgical treatment, mostly comprising craniotomy, has so far not been proven effective. In the largest trials STICH and STICH II, the median time to treatment was more than 24 hours, which may be an important explanation for the lack of treatment effect. The investigators hypothesize that early, minimally-invasive, endoscopy-guided surgery improves outcome in patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH. Objective: to study safety, feasibility and technical effectiveness of minimally-invasive endoscopy guided surgery for treatment of spontaneous supratentorial ICH and to estimate the potential effect on outcome. Study design: a multicenter, prospective intervention study (phase II) with a telephonic follow up interview at 90 and 180 days.The pilot study serves as a prelude to a randomized phase III trial in which the investigators aim to assess whether this intervention improves functional outcome at 90 and 180 days. Study population: patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH of 18 years and older. Forty patients in three participating centers (Radboudumc, Erasmus MC and AMC) will undergo minimally-invasive endoscopy-guided surgery. Three-hundred-and-sixty patients undergoing standard medical treatment in one of 7 other participating centers, will be included as a control group. Intervention: minimally-invasive endoscopy-guided surgery within 8 hours of symptom onset, in addition to standard medical management. Primary study outcomes: safety (death within 24 hours, 7-day procedure related complications, 7-day mortality, 30-day mortality) and technical effectiveness (proportional volume reduction, proportion of participants with volume reduction > 60 and >80%, and proportion with remaining clot volume <15mL). Secondary outcomes: modified Rankin Scale score at 90 and 180 days after ICH (functional outcome).
The objective of this study is to further demonstrate safety and characterize effectiveness of the Neurapheresis™ System (extracorporeal system and catheter) to remove red blood cells (RBCs) and lysed blood by-products from hemorrhagic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
Information regarding the likely progress of post-stroke symptoms is vitally important to stroke survivors to allow them to plan for the future and to adjust to life after stroke. Moreover, the prevalence of morbidity secondary to stroke is of central importance to Health Professionals to understand the prognosis of the disease in the patients under their care. Additionally, it will also allow commissioners of care, planners and third sector organisations to adapt to and answer the needs of a post-stroke population. Currently, the data collected by national audit programmes are concentrated on what can be termed 'process or process of care' data. The utility of these data are in the ability to audit the care received by stroke survivors on stroke units against evidenced standards for care, thus ensuring evidence based practice. Nevertheless, process of care is only one form of measuring stroke unit care and the audit programmes collect some limited functional status data, data relating to risk-factor co-morbidities and treatment received data. Therefore, the scope of this study is to build on the minimum data set currently collected and to collect post-stroke data in domains not currently collected. The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) takes important steps to collect data outside of process of care data such as a Patient Reported outcome data in their minimum outcome data set for stroke [currently under review].. Nevertheless, the ICHOM doesn't currently advocate the specific collection of data relating to cognitive impairment or emotional problems secondary to stroke. It is in these important aspects that this study will augment the data set currently advocated by ICHOM to collect data in the areas of cognitive impairment and emotional problems secondary to stroke. Therefore, the aim of this study is to quantify the prevalence of morbidity at six months post-stroke.
