Filter by:Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with blood loss ranging from 300 to 2000 mL. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is frequently administered prophylactically during this procedure to reduce blood loss by inhibiting fibrinolysis or by stopping naturally occurring clot resolution. TXA is employed currently based on a surgeon's preference. The objective of this study is to quantitate the degree of fibrinolysis using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and investigate the role of TXA prophylaxis on blood loss in patients undergoing THA in a double-blind fashion. Our hypothesis is that fibrinolysis is minimal at most and TXA prophylaxis is not necessary during THA. All patients, whether they receive TXA or normal saline, will not be at risk, as at this time no data exists to determine which approach is safer or more effective. This is the first study to compare TXA vs. placebo in a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial.
This is the first prospective study in Hong Kong that recruit patients with poor neurological status after intracranial aneurysm rupture in all seven public neurosurgical services in Hong Kong. This study assesses whether ultra-early aneurysm treatment improves outcomes in patients with poor neurological status after intracranial aneurysm rupture in Hong Kong. These data are essential to understand the impact of the disease and for future service development in Hong Kong.
Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common benign tumors among women. Fibroids are found in approximately 20% of women over 35 years of age. In 20-50% of patients, fibroids may cause problems such as heavy menstrual bleeding, anemia, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms from extrinsic compression of the colorectal and urinary tract. Surgery is indicated for symptomatic uterine leiomyomas; hysterectomy for women who have completed childbearing (women > 40 years old), and myomectomy for women <40 years old who wish to preserve uterus and fertility.
Veno arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is used, for cardiogenic shock, refractory cardiac arrest and post cardiotomy cardiac failure. Bleeding is frequent complications during VA ECMO and is associated with increased mortality. The aim of our study was to identify early factors associated with major bleeding in patients supported by VA ECMO
The main objective of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of elagolix compared to placebo in reducing heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) associated with uterine fibroids in premenopausal women. The primary hypothesis is that elagolix, compared to placebo, reduces HMB associated with uterine fibroids in premenopausal women.
The study will enroll approximately 316 subjects with a wide spectrum of PCI indications (stable angina as well as ACS), who are considered to be at high risk of bleeding. Patients will undergo PCI with implantation of the EluNIR stent, followed by shortened duration (1 months in stable patients, and up to 3 months in ACS patients) of DAPT.
Intramuscular injection of tranexamic acid (TXA) would increase its use in situations where administration of intravenous drugs is difficult. The investigators aim to assess the population pharmacokinetics of intramuscular TXA in trauma patients. Primary endpoint: Serum TXA concentrations over time. Secondary endpoints: Local reactions at injection sites and adverse events
The objective of this study was to prospectively compare effectiveness of Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) with dry sponges in cessation of bleeding in adult trauma cases with external bleeding due to extremity lacerations. Methods: The study was conducted on patients with bleeding associated with extremity lacerations. All consecutive patients presented to the emergency department of the high-volume training hospital in Istanbul were recruited within the study period
This is a pilot study to evaluate clinical predictors of intracranial bleeding in elderly patients who present to the emergency department (ED) after a fall. The aim is to assess feasibility and rate of patient recruitment, patient follow up, and to establish a point estimate for the incidence of intracranial bleeding in the investigator's population. Currently there are no guidelines for ED physicians to assess the pretest probability of intracranial bleed in these patients, and no safe way to exclude a bleed without CT.
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of carbetocin vs. oxytocin plus sublingual misoprostol in the management of atonic postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)after vaginal delivery.
