Filter by:Clinical practice guidelines do not take into account multimorbidity and various potential therapeutic conflicts. Identifying and quantifying therapeutic conflicts is crucial in multimorbid patients having more than two acute or chronic diseases. Guidance should be available for frequent encountered situations, e.g. gastrointestinal bleeding or exacerbation of diabetes mellitus.
This is an extension study for women who have already received six months of treatment in the phase III clinical trial M12-815 (NCT02654054) or M12-817 (NCT02691494), and will evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of elagolix administered alone and in combination with estradiol/norethindrone acetate for an additional six months in the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids.
After surgical procedures, interventions to reduce postoperative bleeding are of great importance. In this study, the effect will be investigated of administering tranexamic acid, which is designed for injection, directly onto the raw wound surface (topical application) created during surgery. In this way only a small amount of drug is to reach a large wound area. There will be a higher drug concentration of it in the exposed wound surface than after injection, but only a very low concentration in the body, and no risk of injury from needles. The researchers have recently shown that topically applicated tranexamic acid reduces bleeding in women who had two-sided breast reduction surgery. Now it will be studied whether topically applicated tranexamic acid reduces bleeding from superficial wounds, using as a study model the homogenous wounds created by tangential skin excision when harvesting split skin grafts for skin transplants. Two identical wound surfaces in the same patient will serve as case and control.
The objective of this study is to determine the effect of 1g of IV tranexamic acid given within 1 hour pre-operatively on intraoperative blood loss at time of hysterectomy.
This study is a prospective, systematic evaluation to assess the effectiveness and safety of introduction of UBT into PPH care at secondary level and district hospitals in 3 low-resource countries. The first component of the evaluation is a prospective stepped wedge cluster randomized design to assess the potential reduction in PPH-related mortality and invasive procedures (blood transfusion, arterial ligation, hysterectomy and uterine arterial embolization) for PPH performed at participating facilities following introduction of UBT. The second component is a nested cohort analysis to assess the safety and acceptability of UBT among women diagnosed with PPH.
The decision to transfuse or not to transfuse blood products is one of the main issues in patients undergoing surgery. The standard laboratory method of hemoglobin assessment is time-consuming, gives intermittent data, and requires venipuncture which is invasive and painful. In the past decade, the use of non-invasive and faster methods, which allow physicians to measure hemoglobin levels at the patient's bedside, have become widespread. One of the tools that make this possible is Spectrophotometric Hemoglobin. However, one of the main concerns regarding this method is its accuracy. Since the accuracy of this assessment depends on the extent of perfusion of the organ on which the probe is placed, use of digital nerve blocks proposed to increase its accuracy. This study aims to evaluate the effects of digital nerve block (with bupivacaine) on the accuracy of non-invasive hemoglobin monitoring by spectrophotometry in patients undergoing spinal surgery.
Comparison of efficacy of rectal misoprostol for reduction amount of blood loss in women undergoing myomectomy, both open and laparoscopic approach
The etonogestrel (ENG) subdermal contraceptive implant (ENG implant) is a highly effective method of preventing pregnancy, but it has bleeding side effects that make it unappealing for many women. The only study to demonstrate a sustained reduction in bleeding lasting for two months was the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) tamoxifen in users of the levonogestrel (LNG) contraceptive implant. Based on the investigators encouraging preliminary data of tamoxifen and ENG implant users, the investigators plan to perform additional studies on the impact of tamoxifen on the breakthrough bleeding experience by ENG implant users.
Upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage is a frequently diagnosis in emergency departments. Although new drugs and endoscopic techniques were easily applied in various settings in this condition, the role of local administered therapies such as antifibrinolytic agents remain unclear. The investigators aimed to compare standard therapy (proton pump inhibitors, endoscopic treatments etc.) and standard therapy + local administered tranexamic acid in upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage in a double-blind, randomized trial.
