Protamine is used after Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) to reverse the anticoagulant effects of heparin and restore coagulation. Convincing evidence from in-vitro and in-vivo studies suggest that an overdose of protamine has anticoagulant effects which might lead to bleeding complications. Heparin levels usually decrease during cardiac surgery with CPB. Therefore, a protamine regimen based on the initial heparin dose before CPB might lead to overdose of protamine. In contrast, a protamine regimen based on the actual heparin concentration may avoid this condition. The investigators compare both regimens of protamine dosing in patients undergoing complex surgery with CPB and assess its effect on the amount of protamine given, markers of the coagulation system, utilization of blood products and perioperative blood loss.
The study will evaluate whether prophylactic oxytocin administered in the third stage of labor via IV infusion results in a lower mean blood loss compared to IM injection.
Though TTM is ubiquitously used in the neuro-intensive care unit, there is limited experience with the use of TTM after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the most devastating type of stroke. TTM may be a an intervention to improve patient outcomes. This trial addresses the safety and tolerability of a protocol of ultra-early TTM after ICH/IPH and may be the basis for future larger clinical trials.
The aim of the study is to evaluate if there is an association between platelet inhibition and surgery-related bleeding in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery during dual antiplatelet therapy.
Tonsillectomy (the surgical removal of the tonsils) is a commonly performed surgery in children. One risk of tonsillectomy is postoperative bleeding, and this can be more dangerous in children because their blood volume is lower than adults. Ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID), is an effective pain medication. Recent guidelines, published by the American Academy of Otolaryngology, advocated use of ibuprofen after tonsillectomy. However, NSAIDs are associated with altered platelet function and a theoretical increased risk of bleeding after surgery. The investigators would like to explore the effect that ibuprofen has on postoperative bleeding, as well as validate previous studies demonstrating it is an effective pain medication after tonsillectomy.
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide, with an estimated mortality of 140 000 per year. Uterine atony is one of the most important causes of PPH. The traditional treatment of which is the use of uterotonic agents. Oxytocin is the most conventional drug which was proved effective. However, it has the shortcomings of short half life and the necessity of intravenous administration. Misopristol, and more recently Carbetocin were introduced for treatment of atonic PPP not responding to Oxytocin. Aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Carbetocin, Misopristol, and Oxytocin for treatment of atonic PPH.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of IV Tranexamic Acid and topical Tranexamic Acid to control post op bleeding following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery using Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of early administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) on post partum hemorrhage caused by uterine atony after cesarean section delivery. This was a randomised, placebo controlled trial including 74 patients. The investigators included ASA1 parturients with correct haemostatic status undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. The randomization begins after the inefficacy of oxytocin injections and starting up sulprostone perfusion at the request of the surgeon. TXA Group received 10 mg/kg of tranexamic acid as induction dose within 12 minutes and 1mg/Kg/h as maintenance within the 2 following hours. Placebo Group received same volumes of normal saline. The investigators compared blood loss and transfusions in both groups.
Total knee arthroplasty is often associated with excessive postoperative bleeding due to increased fibrinolysis. Hence, the objective of the proposed of this multicentre study is to determine the peri-operative bleeding comparing the application of topical and intravenous tranexamic acid with the habitual surgical haemostasis.
