Filter by:Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic drug that has been used to decrease post-operative blood loss. This study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial investigating the use of tranexamic acid in fracture surgery around the hip and knee, in which significant blood loss (>300mL) is expected. The hypothesis of this study is that tranexamic acid will be associated with a decrease in post-operative blood loss, as well as a decreased need for allogenic blood transfusion, in patients who have fracture surgery around the hip and knee.
Intramuscular versus intravenous prophylactic oxytocin for the third stage of labour following vaginal delivery: A randomised controlled trial
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a common complication of childbirth and a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. The prompt and effective treatment of subjects with PPH would reduce operation risks. Hence in this study, the efficacy of Oxytocin and Carbetocin was compared in prevention of postpartum hemorrhage after cesarean sections.
Patients with a supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group which will keep them at a normal body temperature or the standard of care group. The investigators propose to test the hypothesis that prophylactic forced normothermia in patients with ICH leads to less systemic inflammation and decreased perihematomal edema.
The purpose of this randomized and placebo-controlled EpoRepair trial is to evaluate the effect of intravenously administered recombinant human erythropoietin (Epo) as compared to placebo in preterm infants with brain damage on neurological development until five years od age.
Traumatic brain injury is common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Incidence and pattern of traumatic brain injury varies in developed and developing countries. Subarachnoid haemorrhage refers to blood in subarachnoid space that lies between arachnoid and piameninges, covering brain. It is often associated with concurrent intracranial injury component. Individuals at higher risk for tSAH are those who are at higher risk for blunt head trauma. This includes adolescents, low-income individuals, men, and individuals with a history of substance abuse. The investigators present study aims to investigate prognostic factors associated with the neurological outcome among patients of post traumatic SAH.
Capnometer has been used to assess the success of intubation and the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, capnometers can malfunction under the conditions such as pulmonary edema and hemorrhage due to the vulnerability of capnometers for water. Investigators hypothesized that the use of 10cm catheter mount will reduce the malfunction of capnometers under the conditions of water.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized control trial, double-blind study to compare Hexacapron with standard of care treatment to standard of care alone to evaluate the efficacy of adding effect of Hexacapron to standard therapy by decreasing the episodes of rebleeding and mortality in patient with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
Purpose: - Vasospasm and secondary ischemia following subarachnoidal hemorrhage considerably affect the clinical outcome. The purpose of this study is to determine whether crystalloid (Lactated Ringer's solution) or colloid (hydroxyethyl starch) intravenous infusion is more effective in the treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) Treatment: - Patients are randomly divided into two groups. Depending on the blood pressure of the patients the members of the first group receive 15-50 ml/kg Lactated-Ringer's solution daily as part of the treatment, while the others 15 ml/kg Lactated-Ringer's and 15-50 ml/kg hydroxyethyl starch solution daily. Measurements: - Neurological status of patients will be determined by the NIH Stoke Scale Score and the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) on a daily basis. - The mid-term survival and quality of life are evaluated with Barthel Index and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) 14 and 30 days following admission to our clinic. Hypothesis: -The prevalence of vasospasms, the mortality rate and the medium-term quality of life following subarachnoid hemorrhage is improved if patients are treated with intravenous colloid (hydroxyethyl starch) infusion compared to intravenous crystalloid infusion.
Patients with brain hemorrhage resulting from a ruptured aneurysm (SAH) are at risk of developing a condition called vasospasm, one or two weeks after their hemorrhage. This is a major cause of stroke and death following SAH. A special type of CT scan, called CT perfusion, analyzes regional blood flow in the brain. We hypothesize that CT perfusion scans performed on admission and day 6 post-hemorrhage will enable us to predict which patients will go on to develop vasospasm.
