Filter by:Background: Maternal deaths occur universally and are largely avoidable. Postpartum haemorrhage accounts for a disproportionate amount of maternal deaths. There remains a great need to expeditiously decrease the rate of postpartum haemorrhage to prevent further mortality. Methods: This study is a cohort analysis of data collected for the pragmatic international multi-centre randomized double blind placebo controlled design WOMAN Trial. It will present a univariate analysis of patient and delivery characteristics (age, type of delivery, placenta fully delivered, primary cause of haemorrhage, severity of haemorrhage), physiologic characteristics (systolic blood pressure, estimated blood loss, clinical signs of haemodynamic instability) and management characteristics (receipt of blood products, uterotonics). Multivariable logistic regression models and likelihood ratio tests will be used to examine the evidence for interaction between death from PPH and region after adjusting for any independent effects of 1) systolic blood pressure 2)age 3) type of delivery 4) receipt of blood products Discussion: This analysis of the WOMAN trial dataset will explore the relationship between geographical location, patient and environment characteristics and outcomes of postpartum haemorrhage. A protocol and statistical analysis plan is presented here.
This observational study investigates ICP signals obtained through an external ventricular drain in the brain connected with an external transducer. In particular, the study investigates how drainage influences the monitored signal: influence of flow rate, reservoir height and initial ICP before draining.
Determining the efficacy of low dose of PPI in management acute peptic ulcer bleeding
Non-variceal acute gastrointestinal bleeding is a common and potentially life-threatening problem. The conventional treatment of this condition is for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) for haemostasis. Treatment methods include heater probe, clipping and injection of adrenaline. Recently, a new device called the Over-the-scope clip (OTSC) has been device to treat perforations and bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the aim of the study is to compare between the treatment outcomes between OTSC and conventional endoscopic haemostatic methods in ulcers that are of high risk for rebleeding.
A randomized, multicenter study comparing two strategies: 1 / standard management of systolic blood pressure according to international recommendations (systolic blood pressure <185 mm Hg) versus 2 / intensive blood pressure management Systolic with a target <130 mm Hg.
Primary research question: For adults surviving spontaneous (non-traumatic) symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage with persistent/paroxysmal atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF), does starting full treatment dose oral anticoagulation (OAC) result in a beneficial net reduction of all serious vascular events compared with not starting OAC? Trial design: Investigator-led, multicentre, randomised, open, assessor-masked, parallel group, clinical trial of investigational medicinal product (CTIMP) prescribing strategies. Investigators plan for a pilot phase, followed by a safety phase.
"¡Que Vivan las Madres!: Venga a tener su parto al CAP" (QVLM) is a guatemalan quasi-experimental study that has been performed from January 2014 to January 2017 by the Epidemiological Research Center in Sexual and Reproductive Health (CIESAR) in Guatemala in coordination with PRONTO International and University of San Francisco, California. This project has been financed by Grands Challenges Canada' "Save Lives at Birth, A Grand Challenge for Development" partnership that includes USAID, Norwegian ministry of foreign affairs, Bill&Melinda Gates foundation, UKaid. This project has applied a stepped wedge design (SWD) over 6 zones or clusters. Each one of the zones contains from 4 to 6 communities, each one with the presence of one second level health facility (known in Spanish as CAP, Centro de Atención Permanente). These health centers are the next level in attention after home, traditional and empirical attention. Communities around the selected health centers are mostly rural and have the worst maternal health indicators in the country. These health centers are expected to have enough equipment and personnel to attend the deliveries that occur in their communities. This study was performed in Huehuetenango and Alta Verapaz districts in north Guatemala. Each one with 3 zones for a total of 6 zones. The study follows a Stepped Wedge Design, in which all 6 zones are eventually intervened, but at different regular periods of time (each period is 4 months long). This project applies a package of 3 simultaneous interventions in each zone with the purpose of increasing institutional deliveries and improving deliveries attention in public health centers. This intervention plan has been implemented in a pilot study reported in (Kestler et. al, 2013).
The purpose of this research study is to find out how delaying cutting the umbilical cord until one minute after delivery of the baby during a cesarean impacts the amount of blood the mother loses during surgery. The study will also examine the benefits to the newborn from delayed cord clamping during cesarean.
A non-invasive hemoglobin monitor will be used during cesarean delivery and the values obtained will be compared to values obtained from traditional blood draw.
Bleeding is still the major cause of mortality and morbidity in postpartum period. World health organization has reported 585000 deaths for pregnancy each year. Twenty five percent of cases die from post-partum bleeding. Mean amount of blood lost is 500 ml during normal vaginal delivery, 1000 ml in cesarean section, and 3500 ml during cesarean section with emergency hysterectomy
