Filter by:Acute hydrocephalus is a common complication following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Early and emergency insertion of external ventricular drain (EVD) is standard treatment of acute post-SAH hydrocephalus. According to the high risk of infection associated with EVD, the study evaluates the outcome of early EVD conversion to ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) in poor-grade SAH patients.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has a high incidence of mortality and significant morbidity, with mortality exceeding 30% in the first two days.The initial injury is related to increasing intracranial pressure, cerebral edema, and neuronal injuries associated with the release of iron. Iron has been shown to increase the incidence of cerebral edema, ischemia, and formation of hydrocephalus. Deferoxamine mesylate (DFO), a hydrophilic chelator, creates a stable complex with free iron thus preventing the formation of iron related free radicals. This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of clinical deferoxamine for the treatment of aSAH for patients that are admitted to the hospital at the University of Michigan or Peking University Health Science Center. Eligible participants will be enrolled and randomized to 1 of 2 doses of Deferoxamine or placebo (saline). Information regarding the patients will be collected and followed for up to 6 months post discharge.
Since the 2000s, many prognostic scores were developed to predict traumatic haemorrhage. Most of these studies were retrospectives based on registers. Due to missing data on death due to bleeding, these studies chose to predict the massive transfusion risk as a surrogate of haemorrhagic death. These scores include clinical parameters (vital signs), laboratory values (Haemoglobin, lactate, Base excess) and/or imaging (CT or ultrasound) values. The scores showing best performance are the Trauma Associated Severe Haemorrhage (TASH) score, developed and validated on the German register (DGU-Register) and the ABC score developed and validated in the United States of America. However, the majority of these scores cannot be applied at the trauma scene due to the unavailability of laboratory and imaging values. Therefore, their clinical utility remains unclear. To overcome the need for diagnostic tests, authors have developed and recently validated a clinical prognostic score in identifying trauma patients with, or at risk of, significant haemorrhage based on predicted probabilities of death due to bleeding: BATT score. This score was developed from an international cohort using data from 271 Trauma Centres in 41 countries on 5 continents and uses first clinical parameters at initial assessment. The BATT score predicts death due to bleeding and has been validated on a large population in England and Wales. It could also predict massive transfusion, as a surrogate of haemorrhagic death, earlier at the trauma scene. Its feasibility and external validation would make its clinical utility superior to other scores while identifying a greater number of patients requiring early management. Our study is an external validation of pre-existing prognostic scores of traumatic haemorrhages (TASH , ABC and BATT score) at different times of care (Scene of Injury, admission at the trauma room) in order to assess their overall performance, discrimination and calibration in the prediction of massive transfusion, and haemorrhagic death. The objective of the study is to assess a comparison of score performances (Overall performance, discrimination and calibration). Due to the study population (STR), which is partly integrated into the German DGU-Register, the investigators expect good transportability of the TASH score to the Swiss Trauma Registry in terms of overall performance, discrimination and calibration. The ABC score should show lowers results in terms of discrimination due to its validation on small cohorts exclusively in North America. The new BATT score predicting death due to bleeding has been validated on a large English cohort of more than 100,000 patients. It identifies all patients with haemorrhage and not only patients who have received a massive transfusion subject to survival bias. In this context, the BATT score provides good discrimination with only simple physiological variables available at the trauma scene. In case of its external validation on the STR as part of our study, its feasibility would make its clinical utility superior to other pre-existing scores, while identifying a greater number of patients requiring early management. Its application would activate a massive transfusion plan directly at the trauma scene and save precious time.
to determine safety and efficacy of Tranexamic Acid in reducing blood loss during Myomectomy in our institution.
Research Objective: Primary outcome -To compare efficacy Intrauterine vs Sublingual MISOPROSTOL in addition to Oxytocin in reducing blood loss of post-cesarean section in high risk women Secondary outcome -To study Hemoglobin/Hematocrit change, need of uterotonic agents, need of blood transfusion, adverse drug event of Intrauterine vs Sublingual Misoprostol plus Oxytocin compare to Oxytocin alone Hypothesis: -Intrauterine MISOPROSTOL plus Oxytocin is not inferior to Sublingual MISOPROSTOL plus Oxytocin in reducing blood loss of post-cesarean section in high risk women
Clinician counseling for implant users should involve an explanation of the likelihood of irregular bleeding and the possibility of continued or frequent bleeding throughout three years of use. If that counseling does not provide specifics of the actual distribution of bleeding patterns described in published literature, there remains the real possibility of biased or directed counseling, leading to an inaccurate and exaggerated expectation of potential bleeding changes. This study aims to evaluate if a standardized script accompanied by a visual aid regarding expected bleeding profiles, with intention to remove any possibility of negative or positive framing, could change users' expectations and satisfaction with their method, leading to lower discontinuation rates.
This study will evaluate whether non-invasive auricular vagal nerve stimulation lowers inflammatory markers, and improves outcomes following spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage.
This study sought to develop and validate a new risk stratification score (Henan predicting the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage score, Henan-PRIHS) based on intra-arterial contrast enhanced Flat Detector CT (IA-CEFDCT) to predict symptomatic intra-cerebral hemorrhage (sICH) after stroke thrombectomy.
Inherited bleeding disorders (IBD) consist of a heterogeneous group of diseases including coagulation and/or platelets defects and more rarely vascular dysfunctions. A family of four patients suffering from unexplained excessive bleeding has been followed clinically in France for many years. Recently, whole exome sequencing (WES) of DNA allowed the identification of a heterozygous genetic variant which segregated to family members with bleeding diathesis. The aim of the study was to better characterize the phenotype by studying VWF and platelets in affected family members ultimately contributing to the pathogenesis of a bleeding diathesis.
Hyponatremia is defined as a plasma sodium concentration below 135 mmol / L. This is a common occurrence (20-50%) during subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Its appearance is often associated with vasospasm. It is associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality linked to induced neurological disorders. Hyponatremia is caused by two etiologies: the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (SIADH), and the cerebral salt wasting syndrome, CSWS. Theoretically, these two entities are differentiated by the patient's volemia; in practice, this parameter is difficult to measure. In addition, the correction of hyponatremia is diametrically opposed according to its mechanism: water restriction in the case of SIADH, sodium intake in the event of CSWS. Urea is offered as a second-line treatment in the event of treatment failure to correct hyponatremia. However, the efficacy of this treatment is based on small, observational, retrospective studies. Moreover, the mechanism of action of urea remains poorly understood: it could be a hyperosmolar effect or passive renal reabsorption of sodium.
