Filter by:The primary objective of this clinical trial is to obtain initial insights into the safety of the Angel® Catheter in critically ill subjects with high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) disease AND who are not receiving pharmacological thromboprophylaxis.
This is a randomized-controlled open-label trial comparing two different doses of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in pregnant patients with a history of previous venous thromboembolism (VTE). Both doses are recommended doses in the 2012 guidelines of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), but it is not known which dose is more efficacious in preventing recurrent venous thromboembolism in pregnancy. Patients enter the study and will be randomized as soon as a home test confirms pregnancy. LMWH will be administered until 6 weeks postpartum. Follow-up will continue until 3 months postpartum. Patients will be recruited by their treating physician, either an obstetrician or internist.
This is a two year, multicentre, mixed methods feasibility study including a randomised controlled two-arm interventional trial, a nested qualitative study, focus groups and a United Kingdom (UK) wide survey exercise.
Research Questions: 1. Does using dabigatran bridging result in consistent therapeutic anticoagulation? What percentage of patients will become subtherapeutic on warfarin once dabigatran is stopped? 2. What is the incidence of bleeding events with the use of dabigatran overlapped with warfarin for bridging? 3. What is the cost benefit of using dabigatran instead of dalteparin for bridging anticoagulation?
National, multicenter, prospective, observational, non-interventional study. The objective is to determine if the switch from Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) to Xarelto in subjects treated with VKA with issues in deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and prevention of recurrent DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with an improvement of the treatment satisfaction after 3 months. The treatment satisfaction will be measured by the Anti Clot Treatment Scale (ACTS) score.
Intracranial hypertension (ICH) is a mortality risk factor in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), in purulent meningitis, in hepatic encephalopathy and in Reye's syndrome. It is also a risk factor for severe neurologic sequelae in survivors. Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is likely to guide therapeutics, and certain research on adults or on children, suggest that IH therapeutic approach, for instance for bacterial meningitis, would improve the prognosis. Two monitoring techniques are currently recommended. They are reference methods for ICP measure : - monitoring with intraventricular catheter, - intra-parenchymal monitoring using optical fiber catheter. Non invasive methods have been suggested, including ultrasound measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) which is the most interesting one. The ONSD measured ultrasonically is correlated with ICP level in adults with severe TBI. A diameter over 5,9 mm predicts ICH within the first 24 hours. In children, ONSD average values have been worked out, and an ONSD increase is found in children suffering from hydrocephalus with IH and in children with TBI. ICH precocious detection is fundamental in children sensitive to ICH because their cerebral development is not finished yet. Difficulties met for ICP monitoring implementation in infants and its invasive nature are often disliked by clinicians. A non-invasive exam is then essential to allow a better care of children with ICH in intensive care unit.
This is a prospective, multicenter single arm, nonrandomized study that will include 150 patients at a maximum of 20 investigational sites. It is estimated that it may take 13 months to complete enrollment. Follow-up will continue through 24 months post-implant or one month post-retrieval, whichever occurs first. It is required that filters be retrieved from at least 50 patients and the filter is permanent in at least 50 patients.
Patients post total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain at high risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) during the recovery period following surgery despite the availability of effective pharmacological and mechanical prophylactic methods. The use of calf muscle neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) during the hospitalised recovery period on this patient group may be effective at preventing DVT. However, the haemodynamic effectiveness and comfort characteristics of NMES in post-THA patients immediately following surgery have yet to be established. The main objectives are: 1. To establish if patients in the early post-operative period have tolerance for NMES. 2. To determine if applying NMES to patients immediately post-THA increases venous outflow from the lower limb over resting conditions.
The purpose of this study is to investigate safety of apixaban in Japanese acute DVT/PE subjects when symptomatic DVT/PE subjects are treated with 10 mg BID apixaban for 7 days as initial therapy followed by 5 mg BID apixaban for 23 weeks as long-term therapy (total treatment period is 24 weeks)
Various kinds of intermittent pneumatic compression devices (IPC) with particular ways of compression have been developed and used for prevention of deep vein thrombosis. There are still some controversies about the physiologic properties and clinical impact of numerous issues including the variety of the cuff length, inflation rate, compression sequence, compression-relaxation cycle rate, and pressure generation characteristics. This study is designed to compare clinical efficacies as well as venous hemodynamic improvements between Simultaneous bilateral compression with fixed venous refill time versus alternate compression with adjusted refill time
