Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to test the association between baseline ventilatory parameters (in particular mechanical power (MP), mechanical power normalized to predicted body weight (MP/PBW) and driving pressure (DP) with the baseline neurological status (assessed through the Glasgow coma score) in adults patients under mechanical ventilation with acute neurological injury secondary to stroke, brain trauma or subarachnoid hemorrhage. The main question[s]it aims to answer are: 1. In patients with acute neurological injury under mechanical ventilation, is there a correlation between the acute neurological injury, assessed using the Glasgow scale on admission, and baseline ventilatory parameters? 2. In patients with acute neurological injury under mechanical ventilation, are the baseline ventilatory parameters altered at baseline?
Total laryngectomy with bilateral block neck dissection is considered one of the major head and neck surgeries. Intraoperative bleeding is considered a risk factor for this operation specially that the population of this operation are elder with multiple comorbidities. Intravenous administration of tranexamic acid reduces bleeding during surgery.We design this study aiming to prove the role of topical tranexamic acid in controlling the intraoperative bleeding in patients undergoing total laryngectomy operation avoiding the risk of intravenous administration.
Central venous catheters are essential when administering treatment for hematological conditions. Many patients have a decreased platelet count which increases the risk for bleeding complications. Baarle et al. recently published a randomized controlled study where withholding prophylactic platelet transfusions before CVC placement in patients with a platelet count of 10,000 to 50,000 per cubic millimeter did not meet the predefined margin for non-inferiority for postprocedural bleeding events (PMID: 37224197). However, bleedings grade 2 (defined as bleeding that requires external compression) were included despite lacking clinical significance. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether lowering the preprocedural platelet transfusion trigger from 50x10^9/L to 10x10^9/L for insertions of central venous catheters remains safe with regards to postprocedural bleeding events of grade 3-4.
The non-neurosurgical management of post-traumatic cerebral hemorrhagic lesions is currently poorly codified. It consists of neurological monitoring for 24 to 48 hours, and the performance of an almost systematic brain scan. Anti-aggregation and anticoagulation treatments are stopped for 14 to 28 days and should be resumed according to the risk-benefit ratio and the advice of the patient's treating physicians and cardiologists. If the bleeding lesions do not progress, the patients are allowed to return home. If the lesions progress, the patients remain hospitalized for further monitoring, a new brain scan and neurosurgical advice. This study seeks to show that the performance of systematic brain imaging in the absence of clinical deterioration of patients admitted to the UHCD for post-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage could be avoided, and thus to administer an unnecessary dose of irradiation to the patients, and would also have a significant financial stake. Several recent studies have shown that there is no need to perform a follow-up brain scan in the absence of neurological deterioration, even in anticoagulated patients or those on antiplatelet drugs. Despite the growing number of articles, no recommendation or consensus has been proposed.
Oral anticoagulant therapy, including factors Xa and 2a inhibitors has become more popular in recent years due to its efficacy and convenience in preventing thrombotic events and reducing the risk for stroke in patients with rosk factors (e.g. atrial fibrillation, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism). These drugs have replaced traditional therapies such as warfarin, which requires frequent dose adjustments and control blood samples. Warfarin also has a higher risk of bleeding events. Many patients with atrial fibrillation, particularly old patients and those with comorbidities may have trouble achieving the dose and control requirements for warfarin therapy. On the other hand, Direct Oral Anticoagulant therapies do not require a close monitorization and have a lower risk of bleeding events, which makes them a more attractive option for many patients. There is solid evidence behind the efficacy and safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulant therapies. Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated that Factor Xa inhibitors like rivaroxaban and apixaban are as effective as warfarin in preventing blood clots and reducing stroke risk in patients living with atrial fibrillation. These challenges remark the need for new research that can improve our comprehension about the risk of bleeding associated to anticoagulant therapies and develop novel and more effective strategies for minimizing this risk. Hence, an observational analysis about anticoagulant-associated intracranial hemorrhage may help identifying its incidence and prevalence, as well as treatment patterns and identifying any patient with risk factors linked to these events. This information can be used to improve patient outcomes and guide future research. Work Hypothesis: The majority of intracranial hemorrhage events are associated with heparin, low molecular weight heparin and warfarin instead of Factor Xa inhibitors or direct thrombin inhibitors. Nevertheless, the growing use in recent years of factor Xa inhibitors can increase the number of this therapy related bleeding events.
The POPular ATLANTIS trial aims to investigate CT-guided antithrombotic therapy compared to lifelong single antiplatelet therapy after a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure. Only patients without an indication for anticoagulants will be included in this trial. Currently, lifelong single antiplatelet therapy (mostly aspirin) is considered the standard of care for these patients. However, this approach poses a bleeding risk with only a minimal reduction in thromboembolic events. After 3 months, a CT scan will be conducted to assess the presence of thrombosis on the newly implanted TAVI valve. Based on the results of a 4D CT scan, the decision will be made whether the patient should receive no anticoagulant or antithrombotic therapy with apixaban. CT-guided antithrombotic therapy holds the potential for a greater reduction in thromboembolic events without increasing the bleeding risk.
This study aim to evaluate the efficacy of metoclopramide for gastric visualization in patients with active UGIB. This is a double-blinded, multicenter RCT. Patients with 'active' UGIB (hematemesis or presence of fresh blood in the nasogastric tube) were enrolled. The eligible patients were randomly assigned in a concealed 1:1 allocation to received either intravenous metoclopramide or placebo before endoscopy. The primary outcome was 'adequate visualization' by objective endoscopic visualized scores(EVS). Secondary outcomes included mean difference in total EVS and EVS at each location , duration of EGD, immediate hemostasis, need for a second look EGD, units of blood transfusion, length of hospital stay and 30-day rebleeding rate.
Pancreatic enucleation could preserve more healthy pancreatic tissues and functions with a low recurrence risk. However, conventional enucleation can cause significant intraoperative bleeding, especially in which tumors in the pancreatic head, neck, and uncinate process of pancreas, as these tissues are rich in blood supply, mainly including the abdominal trunk and the superior mesenteric artery. In this study, we developed a novel method to control the pancreatic blood flow in laparoscopic enucleation--blocking the abdominal trunk and superior mesenteric artery with vascular occlusion clips in the process of resection, and evaluated its effectiveness and safety.
The investigators wish to identify potential factors predicting failure of second-line drug treatment (sulproston (Nalador®)): risk factors and factors linked to a failure to take initial care for PPH. A better understanding of the aggravating factors of HPP and more particularly the factors inherent to the initial care would make it possible to think of ways to improve practices.
A prospective national multi-center study will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of hemocoagulase in iatrogenic airway bleeding in a large class III hospital, such as the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, and to compare it with topical epinephrine and tranexamic acid in a prospective double-blind cluster randomized controlled trial.
