Filter by:This study evaluates the efficacy of tranexamic acid versus placebo on perioperative blood loss using two dosage regimens (standard and extended) after a surgery during total hip arthroplasty in patients receiving the novel fast-acting oral anticoagulant rivaroxaban for prophylaxis of thrombosis.
The aim of the study is to determine if the use of iv TXA or Aquamantys system improve the postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit after primary TKA and what is the effect of the simultaneous use of iv TXA and Aquamantys on the postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit. The assumption is that the combination of iv TXA and Aquamantys system will enable an improvement in the postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit equal or larger than the improvement generated by the use of Aquamantys system alone.
Recently, there has been interest in applying tranexamic acid topically before the closure of surgical wounds in total hip replacement. It has the advantages of ease of application, maximum concentration at the site of bleeding, minimising its systematic absorption and, potentially , decline the risks for systematic side-effects 。
Peroperative bleeding has been studied in specific populations exposed to bleeding (i.e. cardiac surgery, orthopedic surgery). Epidemiology of peroperative bleeding and transfusion remain poorly studied in the whole cohort of patients scheduled for surgery remain unknown. The investigators conducted a prospective study in order to examine the incidence, and risk factors associated with peroperative bleeding and transfusion.
Hip fractures are associated with a large hidden blood loss. That is, the total blood loss associated with hip fracture surgery is much greater than that observed intra operatively. There is currently no viable method of identifying patients at risk of transfusion. The on admission haemoglobin level has been shown to be falsely reassuring . We are conducting a study of 200 consecutive hip fracture patients. Thrombelastography (TEG) is taken on admission. The results are blinded to clinicians. Results will be evaluated at the end of the study, comparing intra-operative and total blood losses with the TEG profile of the patient.
Hysterectomy, as any major operation, can cause complications, as hemorrhage which may occur in some cases and sometimes requiring blood transfusion. Recent study proved that misoprostol success in reducing blood loss during total abdominal hysterectomy when used once before the surgery.
Purpose: Examine oral and intravenous Tranexamic Acid (TXA) to determine whether or not the different routes of drug administration are equivalent in terms of post-operative reduction in hemoglobin, number of transfusions, and post-operative blood loss following TJA surgery. Hypothesis: Oral and intravenous TXA are equivalent routes of drug administration.
This is a randomized, open label, parallel two arm, clinical study, which compare the Bair Hugger forced-air warming blanket and the conventional warming care practice in China on patients undergoing major surgery to determine the impact of maintaining normothermia on intraoperative blood loss, requirement for transfusion of packed red blood cells and the changes of coagulation function.
Massive bone tumour resection is often associated with important postoperative bleeding. This may determine systemic (anaemia), as well as local complications (wound healing, seroma, haematoma). The objective of this study is to determine whether the use of topical tranexamic acid or topical Evicel® will reduce the perioperative bleeding comparing it with usual haemostasis.
The main hypothesis of this clinical trial is that the use of intra-articular tranexamic acid and the fibrin glue plus usual hemostasis will reduce at least a 25% the postoperative blood loss with respect to usual hemostasis in patients undergoing subcapital femoral fractures.
