Filter by:Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related intracerebral (CAAH) hemorrhage is second factor of primary intracerebral hemorrhage. However, no effective prevention and treatment strategies have been established. Remote ischemic conditioning is a neuroprotective strategy. In animal studies，RIC is efficiency in accelerating the absorption of hematoma. Therefore, the investigators plan to carry out this research to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RIC in patients with CAA related ICH.
Around 230 million major procedures are performed worldwide each year. Postoperative complications after major surgery, especially in solid organ transplants, are associated with a significant increase in costs and mortality. Major bleeding episodes in major surgeries such as liver transplantation are related to a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. In this multicenter study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of tranexamic acid when compared to placebo, administered after anesthetic induction and in continuous infusion during the procedure, on the rate of intraoperative bleeding in adult patients undergoing liver transplantation. Considering its mechanism of action and its pharmacological and clinical properties, we expect to observe a significant reduction in the bleeding rate and in the need for blood components in the perioperative period of adult patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation. In this study, only adult ASA III to IV patients (18 to 70 years old), scheduled for orthotopic liver transplantation at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Santa Casa de Porto Alegre and at the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of Sao Paulo will be included. Exclusion criteria consider patients with a history of acute arterial thrombosis or venous thromboembolism (<1 month), patients with a history of known thrombophilia, Budd-Chiari syndrome, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, patients with reduced left ventricular function ( ejection fraction <40%), pulmonary hypertension, preoperative pulmonary edema, or severe preoperative hemodynamic changes requiring the use of vasoactive drugs, planned use of tranexamic acid systemically during surgery, hypersensitivity or known allergy to acid tranexamic, history of seizure disorder, patients who have recently suffered a stroke or myocardial infarction (<1 month), patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage in the last 30 days and patients previously undergoing cranial neurosurgery. Major bleeding in this study will be defined as bleeding that results in hemoglobin ≤ 8.0 g / dL and the patient receiving a transfusion of ≥ 1 unit of red blood cells; results in a drop in hemoglobin ≥ 4.0 g / dL and the patient receives a transfusion of ≥ 1 unit of red blood cells; results in the patient receiving a transfusion of ≥ 4 units of red blood cells over a 24-hour period; or bleeding leading to surgical reintervention.
This study examined long-term incidence rates of major bleeding associated with hepatectomy. The investigators used data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. Patients who underwent hepatectomy between 2000 and 2012 were identified by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. Variables including gender, age, comorbidities, and prescribed medications were matched between cases and controls. A total of 1,053 patients with hepatectomy and 4,212 matched non-hepatectomy subjects were included in this study.
306 patients will be divided randomly in to 2 GROUPS: - control group: 153 patients will receive Oxytocin 10 IU I.V shot administered at the time of delivery of the anterior shoulder of the baby for both groups in prevention of postpartum haemorrhage,followed by active management of the third stage of labor by administration of oxytocin 5 IU units IM and waiting for signs of placental separation then controlled cord traction (CCT) to the umbilical cord while applying simultaneous counter-pressure to the uterus, through the abdomen(Brandt Andrews maneuver) - study group:156 patients received Oxytocin 10 IU I.V shot at the time of delivery of the of the anterior shoulder of the baby according to the WHO recommendation .Then oxytocin is stopped and cervical traction (Amr maneuver )is applied. In the maneuver,sustained traction downward and posteriorly was applied to anterior and posterior lips of the cervix using ovum forceps for approximately 90 seconds. The traction should be adequate to allow the cervix to reach the vaginal introitus. Meanwhile (CCT ) is avoided and watchful waiting for signs of placental separartion till 90 seconds end. Massage is not employed but the fundus is frequently palpaple to insure it doesnot become atonic and filled with blood from placenta separation. In cases whom placental separation did not occur within the 90 seconds, we removed the ovum forceps and waited for 30 min for the placental separation .
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy on healthy subjects of Point of Care ultrasonographically guided external aortic compression compared to the manual technique already described.
Background: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are at risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after intravenous thrombolysis. Although there is a risk assessment model for hemorrhagic transformation after thrombolysis, there is no evidence of clinical application in the population of Guangdong Province. . Purpose: To verify the clinical application effect of the existing risk assessment model for hemorrhage transformation after thrombolysis in the local population; to improve the existing prediction model and verify the predictive value of HT after intravenous thrombolysis. Methods: (1) Continuously collect AIS patients who received intravenous thrombolysis in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2020 to verify the clinical application effects of three existing models (HAT, SIT-sICH, THRIVE) on bleeding transformation. Collect baseline and bleeding transformation information within 7 days after thrombolysis, and use ROC curve, calibration curve, sensitivity and specificity to evaluate the prediction effect. A logistic regression model was used to construct an improved HT prediction model based on the AIC principle; (2) Continuous collection of AIS patients who received intravenous thrombolysis in two local hospitals from January 2021 to December 2022 for internal and external verification. Expected results: (1) Evaluate the clinical application value of the existing prediction model in local AIS patients with intravenous thrombolysis; (2) Develop a modified risk assessment model suitable for hemorrhage transformation after intravenous thrombolysis in AIS patients in Guangdong area, and evaluate the risk early Provide guarantee for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Intracerebral hemorrhage is increasingly becoming a major burden in the society because of significant morbidity as well as mortality. Hematoma volume at the time of presentation as well as hematoma expansion and re-bleed or ongoing bleed further deteriorates the patient making a poor prognosis, however at present no therapy targets this pathological process. Though clinical studies do report benefit of using tranexamic acid in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage by reducing hematoma expansion rate as well as decreasing ongoing bleed, large randomized controlled trials have not shown any convincing advantage owing to various limitations in their design and methods. However, they uniformly did not find any significant side effect with the use of tranexamic acid. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that intravenous tranexamic acid is superior to placebo by reducing hematoma expansion when given within 24 h of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.
Approximately 20% of patients with mild head injury presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) is taking antiplatelet agents and 10% is taking oral anticoagulants. The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of cerebral hemorrhage in patients presenting to the ED with an MHI. It also aims to determine whether the use of antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants may be a risk factor for the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage and mortality. This is a prospective observational study that will include all patients who present to ED at Gemelli Hospital for an MHI for 2 years. Patients will be divided into four groups according to whether or not they are taking anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs. Groups will be compared to evaluate the possible increased risk of complications in patients on treatment and among the different medications.
Theoretical Framework & Background Cortical spreading depressions (CSD) and seizures, are crucial in the development of delayed cerebral ischemia and poor functional outcome in patients suffering from acute brain injuries such as subarachnoid hemorrhage. Multimodal neuromonitoring (MMNM) provides the unique possibility in the sedated and mechanically ventilated patients to record these electrophysiological phenomena and relate them to measures of cerebral ischemia and malperfusion. MMNM combines invasive (e.g. electrocorticography, cerebral microdialysis, brain tissue oxygenation) and noninvasive (e.g. neuroimaging, continuous EEG) techniques. Additionally, cerebral microdialysis can measure the unbound extracellular drug concentrations of sedatives, which potentially inhibit CSD and seizures in various degrees, beyond the blood-brain barrier without further interventions. Hypotheses 1. Online multimodal neuromonitoring can accurately detect changes in neuronal metabolic demand and pathological neuronal bioelectrical changes in highly vulnerable brain tissue. 2. Online multimodal neuromonitoring can accurately detect the impact of pathological neuronal bioelectrical changes on metabolic demand in highly vulnerable brain tissue. 3. The occurrence and duration of pathological neuronal bioelectrical changes are dependent on sedatives and antiepileptic drug concentrations 4. The occurrence and duration of pathological neuronal bioelectrical changes have a negative impact on functional and neurological long-term patient outcome. 5. Simultaneous invasive and non-invasive multimodal neuromonitoring can identify a clear relationship of both methods regarding pathological neuronal bioelectrical changes and metabolic brain status. Methods Systematic analysis of MMNM measurements following standardized criteria and correlation of electrophysiological phenomena with cerebral metabolic changes in all included patients. In a second step neuroimaging, cerebral extracellular sedative drug concentrations and neurological functional outcome, will be correlated with both electrophysiologic and metabolic changes. Due to numerous high-resolution parameters, machine learning algorithms will be used to correlate comprehensive data on group and individual levels following a holistic approach. Level of originality Extensive, cutting edge diagnostic methods are used to get a better insight into the pathophysiology of electrophysiological and metabolic changes during the development of secondary brain damage. Due to the immense amount of high-resolution data, a computer-assisted evaluation will be applied to identify relationships in the development of secondary brain injury. For the first time systematic testing of several drug concentrations beyond the blood-brain barrier will be performed. With these combined methods, we will be able to develop new cerebroprotective treatment concepts on an individual basis.
