Filter by:The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the utility of Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) for monitoring pain perception intraoperatively and its influence on intraoperative blood loss, quality of surgical field using Boezaart Bleeding Scale (BBS) in patients undergoing functional sinus surgery (FESS) under total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol or volatile anaesthesia using sevoflurane or desflurane
Non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) affects approximately 100,000 Americans yearly. Up to 30-50% of ICH is fatal, and those patients who survive are often left with significant neurologic dysfunction. In the past, medical management (e.g., control of hypertension, reversal of antiplatelet or anticoagulants) had been the most effective treatment for these patients, given the morbidity and mortality associated with open surgical treatment for evacuation of ICH. However, recent trials have demonstrated that minimally invasive stereotactic neurosurgical procedures to evacuate ICH are safe and result in improved outcomes for these patients. Initial attempts to evaluate the efficacy of surgical evacuation of ICH found no significant difference between medical management and standard craniotomy for surgical evacuation. Indeed, open surgery was often discouraged for these patients due to the significant morbidity and mortality associated with the surgical procedure itself. However, research has demonstrated that minimally invasive, image guided stereotactic frame-based and frameless methods are effective and safe for the placement of catheters for clot aspiration and fibrinolytic therapy of ICH in the basal ganglia and other deep seated regions. Larger randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that these minimally invasive approaches also offer clinical benefit for these patients.
In patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants, bleeding events during or after tooth extraction can lead to unscheduled interruption of the antithrombotic treatment and a potential increased risk of thrombo-embolic events. Therefore, an optimal strategy to minimize bleeding events after tooth extractions is required. In this study, the investigators want to assess whether adding tranexamic acid mouthwash reduces the number of bleeding events in patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants and undergoing a tooth extraction.
The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term efficacy and safety of relugolix 40 milligrams (mg) once daily co-administered with estradiol (E2) and norethindrone acetate (NETA) for 28 weeks on heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids in participants who previously completed a 24-week treatment period in one of the pivotal studies (MVT-601-3001 or MVT-601-3002).
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) consists of blood extravasation into the space between arachnoid and pia mater. Bleeding is a consequence of cerebral aneurysm rupture in most cases. Despite incidence being only 9 cases out of 1000 people per year, young age and high mortality and morbidity lead to loosing several years of healthy life. Therapy priorities are: preventing rebleeding, with endovascular treatment (when possible) or neurosurgical aneurism clipping; preventing complications associated with blood extravasation into subarachnoid pace, such as acute hydrocephalus treatment (that occurs in 20% of patients), by ventricular external drainage positioning, and delayed cerebral ischemia, mainly due to vasospasm, by endovenous administration of nimodipine; optimal perfusion pressure maintenance. Endogenous osteopontin (OPN) is thought to fulfill a protective activity over ischemic damage both in brain and other organs, including kidney. Besides, recombinant OPN administration markedly decreases ischemic area in a focal cerebral ischemia model, by an antiapoptotic action. Recent in vivo studies on animal models of SAH demonstrated that OPN plays a major role: treatment with OPN seems to prevent vasospasm reducing smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells apoptosis. Microparticles are mediators released by platelets, leucocytes, erythrocyte and endothelial cells. In ischemic stroke endothelial microparticles levels directly relate to clinical severity and ischemic area extension. In typical parenchymal haemorrhage microparticles levels are higher both in blood and in liquor and associated with worse clinical outcome. In SAH increased microparticle levels have been demonstrated, especially in the days of the bleeding, and microparticle levels change based on subtypes. Data disagree about the subtypes involved and their time course. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between OPN and microparticles levels and vasospasm development/ischemic lesion at the CT-scan, and subsequently with medium and long-term patients outcome.
Oxytocin causes myometrial contraction via the oxytocin receptor (OTR). Desensitization of the OTR after exposure to oxytocin has been demonstrated in previous studies. The resultant need for a higher oxytocin dose to cause adequate uterine contraction in vivo has also been demonstrated in laboring women having received oxytocin for labor augmentation. Achieving rapid uterine relaxation can be invaluable for maternal and fetal wellbeing in some acute obstetric emergency settings. Nitroglycerin has become a commonly used agent for achieving rapid uterine relaxation amongst obstetric anesthesiologists. Previous studies have concluded that oxytocin can be used to re-establish uterine tone following nitroglycerin mediated relaxation. However, no studies to date have looked at the effects of nitroglycerin mediated relaxation of uterine muscle that has undergone oxytocin receptor desensitization. Nor has the response to oxytocin re-exposure and return of contractility in desensitized myometrium (following nitroglycerin) been examined. The investigators hypothesize that nitroglycerin will reduce and inhibit uterine contractions in both oxytocin pre-treated myometrium, as well as untreated myometrium in a dose dependent fashion, but that myometrium that has undergone OTR desensitization will require less nitroglycerin for contractions to abate. The investigators also expect that the dose of oxytocin required to re-establish equivalent contractions will be higher in the myometrial samples which have undergone nitroglycerin mediated relaxation.
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality in low-income countries and the primary cause of nearly one quarter of all maternal deaths globally. Estimates of blood loss at delivery are notoriously inaccurate, with under-estimation more common than over-estimation. Traditionally, the surgeon performing the cesarean section would estimate the blood loss by visually assessing the blood collected in the surgical drape and counting the number of lap sponges used thru out the procedure. The investigators would like to study and validate an FDA approved device called the gauss Triton device used to estimate blood loss during scheduled cesarean sections.
The unbalanced estrogen with no progesterone will lead to endometrial thickening .This thickening result in endometrial hyperplasia & carcinoma and lead to irregular bleeding
The present study was designed to observe the incidence of bleeding events and characteristics of bleeding and exploratively analyse bleeding related biomarkers and gene polymorphisms in ACS patients undergoing PCI.
Postpolypectomy bleeding is the most common major complication following a colonoscopic polypectomy procedure. The incidence rate ranging from 0.3 to 6.1%. Several preventive methods such as detachable snare and adrenaline injection have been proposed in the management of postpolypectomy bleeding in large colonic polyps. It has been demonstrated that administration of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in abdominal surgeries could reduce the blood loss during the procedure, operation time and days of hospitalization. So the investigators designed a prospective, randomized study to compares the efficacy of vitamin C administration with application of prophylactic clip and detachable snare in the prevention of postpolypectomy bleeding in large polyps.
