Filter by:The primary objective of this multicentric observational study is to define the role of intraoperative temperature decrease (defined as reduction of at least 1 ° C during surgery) as haemorrhagic risk factor, evaluated as reduction of at least 1 gr / dl of hemoglobin, and to correlate it with the need for transfusion. Secondary objectives are infections and complications affecting other organs and systems incidence in the first week after surgery.
In this study researchers want to learn more about the effect of low-dose Aspirin on cancer that develops in the colon (the longest part of the large intestine) and/or the rectum (the last several inches of the large intestine before the anus), diseases that affects the heart or blood vessels and safety outcomes. Study will focus on two groups of adults aged 50-59 and 60-69 years having an increased risk of heart and/or blood vessel disease who are taking either low-dose aspirin or no low-dose aspirin for heart and/or blood vessel disease prevention. The model will be based on information publicly available either on government organization websites or in scientific journals. Based on these data researchers will focus in a first step to build a model of 2 million adults (1 million for each age group) for the UK population and in a second step, the model will be modified for use with other European countries, to reflect the epidemiology and guidelines for aspirin use in these countries.
The aim of this study is to develop a coagulation algorithm based on Quantra POCT for the treatment of coagulopathic cardiac surgery patients.
Veno arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is used, for cardiogenic shock, refractory cardiac arrest and post cardiotomy cardiac failure. Bleeding is frequent complications during VA ECMO and is associated with increased mortality. The aim of our study was to identify early factors associated with major bleeding in patients supported by VA ECMO
Transradial approach has been preferred for coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to several advantages, including decreased associated vascular complication, patients' convenience, and early ambulation compared with transfemoral approach. With these advantages, current guidelines support that radial access is recommended for CAG and PCI in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with and without ST-elevation if performed by an experienced radial operator. Recently, Kiemeneij introduced a distal radial artery approach, called the snuffbox approach, and several studies have been published. However, the feasibility of PCI via snuffbox approach is still concerned due to the lack of data. Moreover, optimal hemostasis duration for PCI via snuffbox approach has not been investigated, even though shorter hemostasis duration would be expected compared with the conventional radial approach as diameter of snuffbox radial artery was significantly smaller than conventional radial artery. In addition, there are few data regarding the feasibility of PCI via snuffbox approach. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate the optimal hemostasis duration for PCI via snuffbox approach.
Seven different scoring systems used for prediction of perioperative bleeding were compared regarding patients operated for elective open cardiac surgery in the investigator's study.
Critically ill patients have a high risk of bleeding but also require prolonged intermittent dialysis. Thus, a heparin-free easy-to-use alternative type of anticoagulation within the dialysis circuit is required. In a non-comparative study, heparin-free regional citrate anticoagulation of the dialysis circuit using a calcium-free citrate-containing dialysate, with calcium reinjected according to ionic dialysance, was considered as safe and efficient. The aim of this study is to confirm the superiority of this approach compared to a anticoagulation based on heparin-grafted membrane.
In this research study the investigators want to learn more about how a medication called tranexamic acid (TXA) could help reduce bleeding during Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) surgery. TXA is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the reduction of bleeding for many types of surgical procedures. TXA works by slowing the breakdown of blood clots and helps to prevent bleeding. From previous studies, TXA has been shown to effectively prevent bleeding in patients undergoing heart, spine and skull remodeling surgeries. As PAO surgery has been associated with significant blood loss when compared to other types of joint surgeries. In order to try and avoid bleeding that may lead to complications, different strategies can be used. In this research study the investigators want to learn more about how a medication called tranexamic acid (TXA) could help reduce bleeding during PAO surgery.
The ASPIRIN LAAO trial is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled study aiming at investigating the safety of terminating the use of aspirin after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and have undergone LAAO will be enrolled in this study. Randomization will be performed at 6 months post-implant. The randomization program electronically assigns the patient 1:1 to either the Aspirin group or the control group. Study patients assigned to Aspirin group will receive enteric coated aspirin (100 mg/day). The control group receives placebo. After the randomization, subjects of both groups will have follow-up visits at 6 and 12 months and then every 12 months until 24 months after the last patient recruitment. For each group, 560 patients will be included, with an estimated total number of 1120 participants in this clinical study. Patients will be followed up until 24 months after the last enrollment. The primary endpoint is a composite consisting of stroke, systemic embolism, cardiovascular or unexplainable death, acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery disease or periphery vascular disease requiring revascularization and major bleeding. The secondary endpoints are all-cause death, device related thrombus, minor bleeding and rehospitalization due to heart failure.
This study aims to find out whether people with chronic kidney disease [CKD] should take low dose aspirin to reduce the risk of first heart attack or stroke (cardiovascular disease [CVD]). CKD is common and is associated with an increased risk of CVD. CVD is caused by small blood clots and aspirin thins the blood to reduce the risk of such clots developing but it also increases the risk of bleeding. Aspirin is recommended to prevent further CVD in people who have already had a first CVD event (so called secondary prevention). Here the investigators want to study the use of aspirin as primary prevention in people with CKD who have not had a CVD to prevent the first event, to assess whether the potential benefits exceed the risks. Eligible patients will be recruited from their United Kingdom (UK) general practices and allocated by chance to be prescribed once daily low dose aspirin or usual care only. Follow-up will be for several years both electronically (for general practice, hospital and mortality data) and by annual questionnaires to ascertain CVD and bleeding events.
