Filter by:We aim to assess a new pulse oximeter which measures continuous hemoglobin concentration (SpHb) in healthy patients undergoing elective Cesarean delivery (CS). This patient population often experiences significant blood loss during surgery, and measurements of surgical blood loss are often inaccurate. We will compare measurements of SpHb with estimated blood loss during the perioperative period, and laboratory measurements of hemoglobin at set time intervals during the perioperative and postoperative periods (to evaluate the accuracy of this device's ability to measure continuous SpHb).
This cluster randomized community-based trial is designed to test the hypothesis that the intramuscular administration of 10 IU of oxytocin in Uniject™ during the third stage of labor by an Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) at births occurring in homes, Sub-Centers and Primary Health Centers in Bagalkot, India will reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage by 44% (from 9% to 5%) relative to home births attended by the same type of provider who does not provide the intervention drug. The study will also document correct use of oxytocin in Uniject, adverse maternal and fetal events associated with inappropriate use and a number of indicators reflecting the programmatic feasibility of implementing this intervention.
This study is designed to test the hypothesis that the intramuscular administration of 10 IU of oxytocin in Uniject™ during the third stage of labor by a Community Health Officer (CHO) at home births in Ghana will reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage by 50 percent relative to home births attended by the same type of provider who does not provide a uterotonic drug.
The proposed study is to evaluate the acceleration the clearance of intraventricular blood (IVH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) following ruptured intracranial aneurysms, thereby ameliorating complications, such as cerebral vasospasm, hydrocephalus and intracranial hypertension. The primary objectives are: 1. Estimate the rate and variance of hematoma clearance following aneurysmal SAH, thereby facilitating sample size determination for a subsequent larger study; 2. Assess the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial of intraventricular tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) among patients with SAH (enrollment rate, ability to blind investigators, protocol compliance); 3. Confirm the safety of intraventricular TPA.
The aim of the study is to observe the effects of antihemostatic therapy including nonsteroidal antiinflammatory, anticoagulant and antiaggregant therapy and other patient and procedure related factors on the risk of endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy induced bleeding.
The purpose of this phase II study is to further assess the safety of tiopronin in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage(aSAH) patients in order to obtain preliminary data on the efficacy of tiopronin versus placebo in reducing serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 3AP levels in this patient population.

This is a prospective, double blind controlled trial in which patients with esophagic variceal bleeding treated with standard therapy (endoscopic variceal ligation(EVL) + B-blockers), will be randomized to receive statins or placebo. They will be followed up during 12 months to determinate whether statins are effective in prevention of variceal bleeding recurrence and evaluate patient survival. Randomization will be stratified according to the degree of hepatic insufficiency, assessed by the Child-Pugh classifications (A,B or C).
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces perioperative blood loss and transfusion requirement in infants undergoing craniosynostosis surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of pre and intra-operative bevacizumab injection on postoperative vitreous hemorrhage after diabetic vitrectomy in comparison to vitrectomy without bevacizumab injection.
A Randomized Clinical Trial with security and dose testing of Sildenafil Citrate in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a rupture of a cerebral aneurism for prevention of cerebral vasospasm. The cerebral vasospasm is a decrease in blood flow that occurs when the intracranial vessels lose their capability of self-control of dilations and contractions. Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage without neurological deficits who underwent endovascular or surgical correction of the aneurysm can participate in this trial. They will be randomized to a daily doses of 75 mg of Sildenafil, 150 mg of Sildenafil or Placebo from the third to the 14th day post bleeding. Today there is no proven clinical treatment for prevention of cerebral vasospasm.
