Filter by:All participants in this clinical trial will be undergoing surgery and will have a central venous catheter (also known as a central line) placed in the large vein in the neck as part of their routine care. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare different ways of dressing central lines. In current standard care, central lines are stitched in place and covered with a protective transparent dressing. This standard care will be compared with the addition of a haemostatic powder beneath the transparent dressing. This powder product aids clotting at the level of the skin, meaning that it prevents or reduces bleeding while helping to maintain a dry and protected environment. The main questions this clinical trial aims to answer are: - Will the addition of a haemostatic powder increase the durability of central line dressings? - What proportion of dressings required an unplanned change? - The reason(s) for any unplanned change - The incidence of bleeding around central line insertion sites - Were any skin problems observed once the dressings were removed? Once the dressings are applied, all central lines sites will be monitored as part of the participant's routine care. Participation in the clinical trial lasts as long as the first central line dressing remains in place. Central line dressings currently and routinely remain in place for up to, but not more than seven days. After this period, there will be no need for any research-related observations. Routine care will continue and will not be affected by the research. Participants will not be asked to make any extra visits over and above those needed for routine care.
Purabond Study is a physician-initiated, observational, monocentric prospective Trial. The aim of the study is to investigate the hemostatic efficacy of PuraBond for aortic anastomoses and suture lines in patients with abdominal aortic pathology (aneurysmal or steno occlusive disease) candidate to open repair at Vascular Surgery Departement - San Raffaele Hospital (Milan, Italy). The Study will include 100 patients.
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.
