Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of the Fluids Monitor to detect hemispheric bioimpedance asymmetry associated with acute brain pathology in patients presenting with suspected Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS).
The purpose of this study is to test whether giving tranexamic acid to patients receiving treatment for blood cancers reduces the risk of bleeding or death, and the need for platelet transfusions. Patients will be randomised to receive tranexamic acid (given intravenously through a drip, or orally) or a placebo.
The present study aims to determine the relationship between postpartum changes in the shock index and the severity of blood loss and other PPH results. Blood loss, heart rate and blood pressure will be systematically measured in the postpartum period in all participating women to explore new clinical indicators to identify those requiring clinical intervention for excessive bleeding.
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and safety of a new peptide-based coagulant, PeproStat. The study drug will be applied to patients undergoing liver/soft tissue surgery, vascular surgery or spine surgery. The speed of action of the new coagulant, that is applied with a gelatin sponge, will be compared to the same sponge but with saline (a commonly used standard of care).
Prevalence of Cesarean Section Niche in women With Unexplained Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Bleeding poses potential for significant complication after transbronchial lung biopsies. The investigators hypothesize that prophylactic intrabronchial instillation of topical epinephrine will reduce the likelihood of bleeding. The investigators plan a double-blind, placebo controlled trial to evaluate this hypothesis.
Prospective cohort study on adult cardiac surgery patients. Platelet function evaluated before and after cardiopulmonary bypass. Bleeding and transfusion recorded. Primary endpoint is finding the association between postoperative platelet function and bleeding.
Acute upper-gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a commonly encountered cause of admission in emergency department (ED). Early risk stratification allows appropriate therapy that may be helpful to advance the patient's morbidity and mortality. Investigators hypothesized that early RDW levels may have an independent, linear relationship with recurrent or massive bleeding in UGIB patients.
A study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the BioFreedom™ Biolimus A9™ coated Cobalt Chromium coronary stent system in patients at high risk of bleeding
The subdermal etonogestrel (ENG) implant, a long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) method, is among the most effective forms of reversible contraception and thus, an important tool in the quest to reduce unintended pregnancy. However, despite overall increases in LARC use in the United States from 1.5% in 2002 to 7.2% in 2011, and 11.6% most recently in 2015, implant use continues to make up a small proportion of LARC use. While evidence to explain this low uptake of implants is lacking, one potential reason is patient and provider concerns about unpredictable bleeding. As a result of this, many studies have been performed in attempts to discover therapies for unscheduled bleeding in progestin-only contraceptive users. Some of these studies include those investigating selective progesterone receptor modulators, such as mifepristone and ulipristal acetate (UPA), which did find some benefit. Although a previous study showed mixed benefit, the investigators feel that this medication has demonstrated both biologic plausibility as well as clinically important outcomes. This previous study may not be entirely translatable to the proposed research as therapies were used for different indications (prophylaxis vs. treatment) and different progestins and delivery systems were studied. Therefore, the investigators believe UPA should not be discounted as a potential therapy. UPA may provide an additional safe and effective option for treatment of irregular bleeding with implants in women. In addition, UPA is currently available in outpatient pharmacies in the U.S. as a single 30mg oral tablet. The investigators propose to investigate UPA for the treatment of unscheduled and troublesome bleeding in ENG implant users.
