Filter by:The investigators prepared a novel tranexamic acid (TXA) study designed to estimate the quantity of blood loss in patients undergoing breast esthetic surgery. This study aims to quantify blood loss during abdominoplasty with and without TXA. The central hypothesis is that TXA administration reduces blood loss and fibrinolysis in breast esthetic surgery patients.
Background： Colonoscopy can detect colon polyps and perform excision to the polyps to prevent colon cancer. However, polypectomy bleeding is one of the complications to be noticed, which has an occurrence rate of about 0.4%. Polypectomy bleeding is divided into two types, immediate and delayed bleeding. While immediate polypectomy bleeding can be treated with endoscopic hemostasis during the exam session, delayed polypectomy bleeding occurs a few hours or days after the colonoscopy exam. Patients who encountered delayed polypectomy bleeding usually presented to the hospital for hematochezia, symptoms of anemia, and even hemodynamic instability and end-organ damage. Cold snare polypectomy and prophylactic clipping can reduce the bleeding risk. However, delayed polypectomy bleeding still occurs in high-risk patients, e.g., larger polyps ≥ 1cm. Sucralfate is used for peptic ulcer treatment. It can become a protective layer on the wound to prevent environmental injury. Sucralfate can be used to treat colon ulcers, colitis, and radiation colitis. Whether sucralfate can prevent polypectomy wounds from delayed bleeding is unknown. Aim： This study aimed to investigate whether precise sucralfate administration on polypectomy wounds can prevent the wound from delayed bleeding. Method： This is a randomized clinical trial. The study will recruit 160 patients. After randomization, 80 patients will be classified into the intervention group and 80 into the control group. The participants will receive an endoscopic survey as routine, and we will enroll all patients with polyp size ≥ 0.5 cm after polyp excision. Exclusion criteria include patients with an allergy to sucralfate. If immediate polypectomy bleeding occurs, we will apply standard endoscopic therapy by either local injection of diluted epinephrine, heater probe coagulation, and/or hemoclipping. If there is no immediate bleeding, we will apply prophylactic clipping in high-risk patients with polyp size ≥ 1cm. After then, we will spray 3g of sucralfate powder through colonoscopy precisely on the polypectomy wound in the intervention group. All enrolled patients will be monitored for delayed bleeding for 28 days after the colonoscopy.
The primary objective of this study is to collect real-world data on WATCHMAN FLX™ Pro Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Device in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
The goal of this quality improvement study is to compare pathogen-reduced cryoprecipitate with traditional cryoprecipitate in liver transplant and cardiovascular patients. The investigators hypothesize that by having immediate access to a readily available thawed blood product that replaces fibrinogen (the main substrate of a blood clot), early bleeding can be treated before it escalates into uncontrolled hemorrhage, and therefore additional blood products, like platelets, plasma and red blood cells can be avoided. Participants will be given one of the two FDA-approved blood products.
The aim of this prospective, monocentric, non-randomized trial is to investigate the impact of catheter ablation of atrial tachyarrhythmias on the ABC-stroke and ABC-bleeding risk scores. Participants planned for first catheter ablation for symptomatic atrial tachyarrrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter) will be enrolled. Serial blood samples will be collected before and 3, 6 and 12 months after catheter ablation to calculate the ABC scores as well as the traditional bleeding and stroke risks. Following catheter ablation, continuous rhythm monitoring will be achieved using an insertable monitor or an implanted atrial lead of a cardiac implantable electronic device. Additionally, heart rate monitoring via photoplethysmography using a smartwatch and/or smartphone is performed for a period of six months. Data are analyzed for differences in ABC scores before and after ablation in relation to possible AF/AT recurrences. Furthermore, we are going to compare the sensitivity and specificity of different follow-up modalities post ablation. The monitoring via ICM (gold standard) is compared to smartwatch-based monitoring alone, versus smartphone-based monitoring alone or a combination of both for AT/AF recurrences.
Bleeding is a significant complication in cardiac surgery, with 10-15% of open cardiac surgery patients experiencing major intra- or post-operative bleeding. To address this unmet need, PLAS-FREE LTD has developed ClearPlasma™, a single-use, extracorporeal plasma filtration device which extracts plasminogen from plasma to reduce fibrinolysis. The resulting plasminogen-depleted plasma (PDP) is expected to reduce risk of fibrinolysis and bleeding in patients undergoing plasma transfusions.
The study will investigate the prevalence of high bleeding risk (HBR) features and will compare the clinical outcomes of HBR and non-HBR patients among those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and receiving cangrelor infusion.
EFISS is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial testing the feasibility, safety and efficacy of prophylactic administration of fibrinogen in paediatric spinal surgery. The study is monocentric and will be conducted in University Hospital Brno, Czech Republic. This is a pilot study in which the primary objective will be to evaluate the feasibility of a clinical trial in 32 selected patients undergoing scoliosis surgery. Participants will be randomized into study groups in a 1:1 allocation ratio and followed up for 28 days after surgery. The expected duration of this clinical trial is 8 months.
Ticagrelor-based De-escalation of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting trial (TOP-CABG trial) is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority, parallel controlled trial. The aim of TOP-CABG is to investigate whether de-escalated dual antiplatelet therapy (De-DAPT) is non-inferior to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in efficacy on inhibiting great saphenous vein (SVG) graft occlusion and is superior in reducing bleeding events in patients accepting coronary artery bypassing grafting.
Background: While medical advances for in-hospital care rapidly evolve, a mainstay of effective pre-hospital care remains the ability to treat medical emergencies such as anaphylaxis, prolonged seizure, overdose, or uncontrolled bleeding, through rapid administration of appropriate medication. Autoinjectors are used globally to deliver medications in a timely manner, often in environments where immediate access to medical facilities is limited. Rapid administration of intramuscular medication delivery is essential where oral or intravenous delivery is either not possible or ineffective. The purpose of the proposed study seeks to determine the efficiency various types of medication injection administration.
