Enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery imposes a significant reduction in length of hospital stay. However beneficial for the overall recovery it reduces the hospital observation time. after a laparoscopic surgery during which one of the longest resection line in surgery or anastomosis are created. Therefore, discovering possible safe and effective ways of pharmacologically reducing surgical blood loss and reducing the risk of postoperative bleeding would be an invaluable addition to the protocol. The systemic use of tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to be effective in many types of surgery, reducing the incidence of post-operative bleeding and thereby reducing the rate of reoperation.
In endoscopic sinus surgery a clear surgical field of view is a very important aspect for good surgical outcome. This study is to evaluate the preoperative preparation to acquire best surgical field of view by comparing between the use of topical adrenaline and the use of combination of topical adrenaline with infiltration of 1% lidocaine with adrenaline in patients scheduled for endoscopic sinus surgery for rhinosinusitis.
Tranexamic acid has been used to reduce bleeding and transfusion for years. Randomized studies showed its efficacity in orthopedic surgery, trauma and post-partum hemorrhage. Few data were available for other types of surgery and the safety profile of tranexamic use was nor clearly established. In april 2022, the results from the POISE-3 (Perioperative Ischemic Evaluation - 3) trial was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. This stdy clearly demonstrated in 9535 patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery, that the use of tranexamic acid significantly reduced not only perioperative bleeding, but also transfusions. The safety profile of tranexamic acid was very good in this trial. This publication was rapidly followed by editorials in major anesthesia journals, calling for "safe surgery" with a systematic use of tranexamic acid in the population studied in the POISE-3 trial. A literature review was done with a formal presentation at Erasme University Hospital, again with the call for a systematic use in appropriate patients. In this study, the adherence to these recommendations will be tested. All patients operated between october 1st 2022 and december 31 st 2022 will be included. For every patient, it will be determined if this patient should have received tranexamic acid according to the results of the POISE-3 trial and wether this patient really did get tranexamic acid. Primary endpoint will be the percentage (%) of patients correctly treated according to the POISE-3 recommendations. A second primary endpoint will be the comparison with patients operated between October 1st 2021 and december 31st 2021; that means before the publication of the recommendations. The difference between both populations will be tested with a Chi-square test. Secondary outcomes wil be bleeding and transfusion in the correctly treated population compared with an eventually not correctly treated population.
Fibrinogen concentrate is produced by different manufacturers using different purification technologies. The products available in Italy are three: RiaSTAP (CSL Behring), FIBRYGA (Octapharma), and FibCLOT (LFB). RiaSTAP and FIBRYGA are sold in 1-gram vials, and FibCLOT - in 1.5-gram vials. A recent in vitro study assessed how these products affected the clot firmness measured by the ROTEM FIBTEM maximum clot firmness (MCF) parameter. In vitro conditions, FibCLOT was verified to be the most efficient in increasing clot firmness. The present study is aimed to assess, in a series of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, the hypothesis that the FibCLOT fibrinogen is superior to the RiaSTAP fibrinogen in increasing the FIBTEM MCF parameter in a clinical model of bleeding (postoperative bleeding after complex cardiac surgery).
This is a single-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing two groups of application of topical dose of tranexamic acid (TxA) versus placebo in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), off pump coronary bypass graft cardiac surgery (OPCAB), and adult heart valve surgery. The primary outcomes of this study comprised of two parameters; post operative bleeding and blood product transfusion. The primary outcomes were assessed during the operation, until 48-hour post operative.
The aim of this clinical trial is to test if carbetocin is as effective as oxytocin plus misoprostol in decreasing intraoperative blood loss in women undergoing planned cesarean section. The main question it aims to answer is: * Is carbetocin as effective as oxytocin plus misoprostol in decreasing intraoperative blood loss in women undergoing planned cesarean section? Researchers will compare 2 groups: - women receiving Oxytocin plus Misoprostol; - women receiving Carbetocin as regards: - estimated blood loss
It is unknown whether different end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure levels have a clinically significant effect on bleeding and surgical field quality in septorhinoplasty, especially during controlled hypotension. Therefore, it was aimed to investigate the effect of ventilation strategy with controlled hypocapnia on intraoperative bleeding and surgical field quality for commonly practiced in septorhinoplasty.
Shoulder arthroscopy provides many benefits with a permanent increase in the possibilities and complexity of the application. A condition to perform it is intraoperative visual clarity dependent on hemorrhage control. The aim of this prospective, double blind, randomized, and controlled study is to examine the effect of intravenously administered tranexamic acid (TXA) on the visual clarity, perioperative hemorrhage, duration and early postoperative course of shoulder arthroscopy in beach chair position, which is not yet available in the literature. In the tested and control group, the investigators measure hemoglobin (Hb) in the waste irrigation fluid and the patient's blood before and after the procedure, visual clarity, duration of the procedure, postoperative shoulder swelling, pain level and analgesic drug consumption. The research uses scientific methods to determine if there is a reasonable basis for introducing TXA into routine clinical use.
Fluid intravascular replacement is usually performed with either balanced crystalloids or iso-oncotic colloids, (synthetic colloids, plasma and 5% albumin). Doubts have been raised about synthetic colloids, and albumin solutions have been used more extensively. Albumin is the main protein responsible for plasma oncotic pressure and its volume expansion effect. The mobilization of extravascular fluid by infusing a hyper-oncotic solution like 20% albumin solution has been shown, causing endogenous fluid recruitment and blood volume expansion. The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect on plasma volume expansion and fluid recruitment of 3 different types of fluids (Albumin 5% and Albumin 20% and Ringer-lactate) during the hemorrhagic phase of the cystectomy procedure. Secondary objectives are the assessment of the hemodynamic parameters during surgery and the follow-up of pro-ANP and pro-BNP peptides. Glycocalyx proteins will be followed to evaluate endothelial wall shedding and microcirculation damages.
