Filter by:This is a post market prospective, single arm clinical investigation to continuously assess the safety performance and effectiveness of the Celox™ PPH as a uterine haemostatic tamponade treatment for uterine postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).
This is a multicentre randomized placebo-controlled double-blinded phase IV study among 1000 women in Sweden and South Africa on the effect of oral tranexamic acid on PPH after vaginal delivery. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of orally administered tranexamic acid (TA) compared to placebo on rate of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal birth. Participants will be randomized to receive either 20 ml (2g) of the investigational medicinal product (TA100mg/ml) or 20ml of a placebo solution during labor. Our main endpoint, assessed at 24 hours after delivery is PPH defined as blood loss >=500ml and assessed both by weight and pre-postpartum hemoglobin (Hb) decrease >10 units difference in vaginal deliveries
It is aimed to determine the late cord clamping with early skin-to-skin contact in primiparous pregnant women who delivered vaginally, according to placental separation time, separation method, amount of postpartum bleeding and postpartum comfort.
Cesarean section is the most prevalent operation among women globally, 10-15% (1, 2). Recent research has shown Egypt to be the third-largest country globally, with an estimated 52% cesarean sections (3). However, the cesarean section has many serious complications, including the primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) (4). During labor, the average blood loss is about 300 to 400 ml. Bleeding postpartum is known as losing over five hundred milliliter of blood following a vaginal birth and losing over one thousand milliliter after the cesarean section (5). The prime cause of maternal death rate is postpartum bleeding, predominately in poor countries, and the estimated mortality number due to postpartum bleeding is one hundred thousand per year (6). Therefore, it is essential to reduce bleeding during and after CS to diminish maternal mortality and morbidity (7). The most successful technique for decreasing PPH is the active third stage labor management, requiring prophylactic uterotonic drugs like oxytocin, ergometrine malate, prostaglandins (E1, E2, and F2α), and combinations of them, or hemostatic agent as tranexamic acid (Kapron) and Etamsylate (Dicynon) (8, 9).
The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Mostafa Maged maneuver compared to Bimanual uterine compression in controlling postpartum hemorrhage during vaginal delivery. The study subjects were categorized into two groups. The first group was managed by the Mostafa Maged maneuver , whereas the second group was managed by routine bimanual uterine compression. investigators attempted to determine the duration of each maneuver required until the investigator became exhausted, as well as whether or not oxytocin was administered later in each maneuver .
The aim of this study is to evaluate the retention of knowledge and skills after theory+simulation training versus theoretical training alone in postpartum haemorrhage immediately, 3 months and 6 months after training in South Kivu, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The project is a prospective observational study aimed to assess and to validate the use of point-of-care hemoglobin testing in pregnancy. Point-of-care hemoglobin testing has the potential to (1) increase access to hemoglobin monitoring in pregnancy in low resource settings, (2) increase availability of hemoglobin monitoring in anemic patients, and (3) provide immediate results for real-time patient counseling and intervention. However, to date, point-of-care hemoglobin testing devices have not yet been studied for use in an ambulatory obstetric population. The Masimo device is a Root Radical 7 Pulse CO-Oximeter, manufactured by Masimo, Inc. This device is non-invasive and placed externally on a patient's finger to generate an estimation of a patient's hemoglobin value. The HemoCue® device is a minimally-invasive device that relies on the finger prick method to get a capillary hemoglobin measurement. Participants in this study will be approached at the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinics at George Washington Medical Faculty Associates. Point-of-care hemoglobin measurements will be assessed using the non-invasive Masimo device along with minimally-invasive hemoglobin HemoCue® Hb 801 device and compared to traditional venipuncture hemoglobin testing.
Calcium is a life saving medicine in the care of parturients. It has many important uses including treatment of hypocalcemia, treatment of magnesium toxicity, prevention of hypocalcemia during blood transfusion (of citrate containing blood products), treatment of hyperkalemia, and others. Recent clinical trials also suggest that calcium given after cord clamping may decrease blood loss in patients undergoing cesarean delivery. 2 FDA approved forms of calcium can be given intravenously: calcium chloride and calcium gluconate. Over the last decade there have been times with drug shortages of either calcium chloride or calcium gluconate. So there have been and likely will continue to be times when one formulation or the other may not be adequately available. Despite the importance of calcium and the frequency in which it is used in parturients, there are no published studies in parturients to determine dose equivalence between calcium gluconate and calcium chloride. In this study the investigators will determine the population pharmacokinetics of calcium gluconate and calcium chloride in parturients and calculate the dose equivalent ratio the two drugs. This will help clinicians select appropriate doses of calcium and provide resilience to the drug supply chain in our era of frequent drug shortages.
The rate of heavy blood loss is higher in Cesarean delivery compared to vaginal deliveries. Since postpartum hemorrhage is a life threatening situation to decrease the maternal mortality and morbidity rates, precautions should be taken. In this study, we aim to decrease the amount of postpartum hemorrhage by clamping the uterine artery after the delivery of the baby during Cesarean delivery.
This study was planned to determine the effect of simulation-based postpartum hemorrhage management on the application skills, satisfaction, self-confidence and self-efficacy-competences of Health Sciences University Hamidiye Health Sciences Faculty Midwifery Department 3rd year students. The research, which was planned in a randomized controlled experimental design, will be conducted with Istanbul Health Sciences University Hamidiye Health Sciences Faculty 3rd year midwifery (N:82) students. Students participating in the study will be divided into intervention (n:41) and control (n:41) groups according to the computer-assisted simple random sampling technique. Before the application, both groups will be given 2 hours of theoretical information on the evaluation and management of postpartum hemorrhage. 41 students assigned to the intervention group will be given a high-fidelity simulator, and 41 students assigned to the control group will be given practical training accompanied by an adult standard patient care model. "Descriptive Information Form", "Evaluation of Simulation-Based Learning Scale", "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale", "Self-Efficacy Scale" and "Early Postpartum Hemorrhage Management Skill Evaluation Form" will be applied to the students participating in the research.
