Filter by:Ventilator mode change was associated with decrease in blood loss during posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) due to decrease in the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of equal ratio ventilation (ERV), which sets the I:E ratio of the ventilator to 1:1 during volume controlled ventilaiton, on surgical blood loss during PLIF. Investigators hypothesized that ERV would decrease surgical blood loss due to decrease in the PIP.
This study aims to analyze the efficacy of intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).
This observational study introduced an new advanced bleeding control strategy during complex liver resection.This newly described "stepwise vascular control" technique was efficacious and feasible to control intra-operative bleeding in complex hepatectomy involving second hepatic hilum and retro-hepatic inferior vena cava.
Peri operative haemorrhage following cardio Pulmonary Bypass may occur in 5 to 10% of cardiac surgical interventions. Treatment of such complication often necessitates various combinations therapeutic intervention including allogenic blood products administration, drug use and/or surgical intervention. All are expensive treatment and decision making is guided by patient clinical status and biological tests of the haemostatic function. A key point is the time frame of the clinical process. Therapeutic choices have to be done as fast as possible to minimize bleeding consequences on patient haemodynamic and physiological status. Conventional coagulation test results availability time usually exceed 45' after blood drawing. In such situation, the results may not reflect precisely the coagulation system current state. This downside is often counterbalanced by clinicians empirical choices preceding lab test results knowledge that may conduct to inappropriate treatment, blood product overuse and undue expense. Viscoelastic point of care test may compensate for the limitations of conventional coagulation tests. In perioperative haemorrhage, faster and more precise information about haemostatic function may help for more accurate therapeutic choices. The IMOTEC study aims to compare haemorrhage management following cardiac surgery using conventional blood coagulation tests or thrombo-elastogaphic point of care test. Primary endpoint is a cost utility analysis of the technology and secondary endpoints include blood component transfusion, postoperative bleeding , thoracic re-intervention, postoperative infection (any cause), organ failure, in hospital length of stay and death.
Recent guidelines of the ACC/AHA suggest that elective non-cardiac surgery (NCS) should optimally be delayed one year after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES). Regarding the antiplatelet agents, dual antiplatelet therapy, or at least aspirin is recommended to be continued considering the relative risk of bleeding and stent thrombosis especially during the first 4 to 6 weeks after DES implantation. However, these recommendations are based upon insufficient and conflicting evidences.
The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects of intravenous and topical administration of tranexamic acid during revision hip arthroplasty on blood loss, allogenic blood transfusion rates, length of hospital stay and perioperative complications.
The objective of this study is to determine the effect of 1g of IV tranexamic acid given within 1 hour pre-operatively on intraoperative blood loss at time of hysterectomy.
The decision to transfuse or not to transfuse blood products is one of the main issues in patients undergoing surgery. The standard laboratory method of hemoglobin assessment is time-consuming, gives intermittent data, and requires venipuncture which is invasive and painful. In the past decade, the use of non-invasive and faster methods, which allow physicians to measure hemoglobin levels at the patient's bedside, have become widespread. One of the tools that make this possible is Spectrophotometric Hemoglobin. However, one of the main concerns regarding this method is its accuracy. Since the accuracy of this assessment depends on the extent of perfusion of the organ on which the probe is placed, use of digital nerve blocks proposed to increase its accuracy. This study aims to evaluate the effects of digital nerve block (with bupivacaine) on the accuracy of non-invasive hemoglobin monitoring by spectrophotometry in patients undergoing spinal surgery.
This will be a multicentre, randomised, controlled and prospective clinical trial. All participants provided their written informed consent to participate in a randomized trial that examined the effects of low-level MAP (60-70 mmHg) vs. high-level MAP (90-100 mmHg) in elderly patients (65 or more years of age) during noncardiothoracic surgery under general anesthesia. The investigators hypothesise high-level blood presure of the intervention for reducing the incidence of post-operative complications.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of ROTEM, during spinal surgery is effective on diminishing the total blood loss and the risk of Allogenic Transfusion of Blood Products vs control cases without ROTEM assessment.
