Filter by:- To evaluate the efficacy of using IPC during the acute phase of ICH in the prevention of VTE. - To assess the safety and efficacy of additional therapy with enoxaparin. - To compare the efficacy and safety of the European and American guideline recommendations. - To provide an efficient and safe thromboprophylaxis for several weeks until the patient is able to walk.
Observational study about the incidence of relative adrenal insufficiency in patients with cirrhosis and acute variceal bleeding; in patients with acute peptic gastrointestinal bleeding and without liver disease; and in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. This is a study using pharmaceutical specialties in the approved conditions of use.
The purpose of study is to compare the treatment success in the study groups.
The aim of this study is to determine effect of proprioceptive stimulation with passive gait training on the cortical activity in patients with severe brain injury, demonstrated as changes in EEG (electroencephalogram)and ERP (Event Related Potentials). Hypotheses: 1) Proprioceptive stimulation increases EEG-frequency in patients with impaired consciousness due to severe brain injury. 2) Proprioceptive stimulation increases conductivity speed of the cognitive P300-component of ERP in patients with impaired consciousness due to severe brain injury.
Strict glycemic control improves mortality and morbidity of patients admitted to the postoperative intensive care unit (ICU). The investigators would like to know if this therapy could improve the long term neurologic and cognitive outcomes of patients treated for acute subarachnoid hemorrhage with either a surgical or intravascular approach.
The purpose of our study is to verify wherever normothermia (achieved with diclofenac administration) may improve intracranial pressure control and may limit secondary cerebral damage thus positively influencing outcome in patients with acute cerebral damage admitted to ICU.
Recently it has been suggested that a restrictive transfusion of units of Red Cells (URC) may improve the outcome of ICU patients with anemia. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the transfusion of URC may be deleterious for the hemostatic process of bleeding lesions, which suggest that a restrictive transfusion may be valuable in patients which gastrointestinal bleeding. Transfusion of URC may also increase portal pressure which may be detrimental to control acute portal hypertensive bleeding. The aim of the present study is to assess whether a restrictive transfusions may improve the outcome of patients with acute nonvariceal gastrointestinal bleeding, and also whether such a restrictive strategy may improve the outcome of bleeding episodes related with portal hypertension. The study will be carried out with a prospective, randomized and controlled design comparing the restrictive transfusion strategy with the usual nonrestrictive transfusional strategy. Overall 860 patients will be included; 430 in each group. The main outcome measure will be survival. All deaths occurred within the 30 days after admission, will be considered. Secondary outcomes will include rebleeding and complications related to treatment, and related to the bleeding episode itself. Portal pressure will be measured to assess the influence of the transfusions strategy on fluctuations of this parameter, and the relationship with the clinical course of bleeding episode. The study will be performed at the Bleeding Unit of our hospital during a period of 3 years.
Hypothesis A “multifaceted” intervention program aimed at increasing the responsiveness of care givers, the adequacy of care provided, and the efficacy of organisation of care, in presence of abnormal blood loss in the immediate post partum has more impact on the incidence of severe PPH and on the costs of care than the current methods of dissemination of clinical practice guidelines. Intervention Intervention group. The intervention includes three components: (1) outreach visits with local presentation of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for management of PPH, and discussion of their applicability in the context of local organisation; (2) during these educational visits, reminders - check list, “PPH emergency case” containing appropriate materials – to be used in case of PPH, will be proposed; (3) finally, cases of severe PPH will be reviewed during peer review sessions organized in each participating unit, to help identifying weaknesses in care provided, and needs for improvement. Control group. The proposed guidelines for management of PPH will be disseminated through the participating perinatal networks; then each unit will be free to implement them at its own convenience. Randomisation procedure The trial follows a cluster randomised trial design. Randomisation of maternity units will be stratified by region, status (public versus private) and size (annual number of deliveries). The stratified design will guarantee the comparability of the two arms of the trial at baseline. Outcome measures The primary outcome is the incidence of severe PPH (number of severe PPH to number of deliveries). A severe PPH is defined as a PPH that was associated with one or more of the following: peripartum haemoglobin drop greater than 4g/dl, blood transfusion, arterial embolisation, surgical procedures such as hysterectomy or arterial ligation, transfer of the mother to intensive care unit, maternal death. Secondary outcomes include the cost of care and the cost/efficacy ratio, and the incidence of adverse effects of uterotonic drugs.
The Purpose of this study is compare the efficacy of intravitreal triamcinolone in clearing recurrent post-vitrectomy diabetic hemorrhage with conventional treatment, air-fluid exchange.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and operative efficacy of intermittent hemodialysis without anticoagulation with saline flushes or Nephral 400ST in patients at high risk of bleeding
