Blood Loss

Although procedural abortion in the second trimester is extremely safe, hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is used commonly in obstetrics to prevent or manage intrapartum or postpartum hemorrhage and has been associated with decreased mortality and decreased blood loss at the time of birth. Some guidelines are recommending the use of TXA for both the prevention and management of bleeding for abortion care. However, there are currently no published studies assessing the association between TXA and bleeding outcomes for abortion procedures. This study will involve a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of pregnant patients aged 18 and older desiring dilation and evacuation (D\&E) for abortion or fetal demise at 18-24 weeks gestation. The primary aim is to determine whether prophylactic TXA has an effect on the need for additional interventions to control bleeding at the time of D\&E. The secondary aim is to determine whether prophylactic TXA has an effect on the mean quantitative procedural blood loss.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two surgical techniques for reducing blood loss during transabdominal myomectomy in women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. The main question it aims to answer is whether bilateral uterine artery ligation reduces intraoperative blood loss more effectively than pericervical mechanical tourniquet application, without increasing operative complications. Researchers will compare bilateral uterine artery ligation with pericervical mechanical tourniquet application during open myomectomy to evaluate blood loss and surgical safety. Participants will undergo elective transabdominal myomectomy and will be randomly assigned to one of the two vascular control techniques before myoma enucleation.

Oxytocin is the first-line drug to promote contraction of the uterus and prevent atony immediately after delivery. Nonetheless, unpredictable uterine atony refractory to oxytocin affects roughly 250,000 parturients annually in the U.S. and rates are increasing. This two-part study will measure the action of oxytocin at cesarean delivery. The first part will measure the pharmacokinetics of a single intravenous (IV) dose of deuterium-labeled oxytocin. The second part will measure the pharmacodynamics of all plasma oxytocin to see how concentrations correspond to the contractile effect on the uterus. After delivery of the fetus, study subjects will receive a bolus of IV deuterated oxytocin followed by an unlabeled oxytocin infusion. Venous blood samples drawn at multiple time points (within 1 hour after delivery) will be analyzed for plasma concentrations of labeled and unlabeled (endogenous + exogenous infused) oxytocin over time. Plasma concentrations will be compared with 0-10 uterine tone scores measuring uterine contraction strength, to describe the concentration-effect relationship. The goal of this study is to define both the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oxytocin in parturients to help identify the cause(s) of failed first-line oxytocin therapy.

the aim of this register is to collect exhaustively the different data available surrounding a transfusion act in the context of an active haemorrhage. The aim is to allow different modelling and analysis related to emergency transfusion.

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of administering low-dose epinephrine and tranexamic acid on perioperative blood loss, thromboembolic complications, and hospitalization duration in patients undergoing knee joint arthroplasty. Also aim to evaluate the effect of administering low-dose epinephrine and tranexamic acid on perioperative thromboembolic complications, and hospitalization duration

Assessing the efficiency of Prophylactic use of local tranexamic acid during vaginal hysterectomy to reduce blood loss during operation

The primary objective is to assess in terms of frequency the adverse outcomes (premature birth, maternal-fetal haemorrhage, maternal fetal-neonatal death) of pregnancies of women attending the obstetric-gynaecological emergency department for genital bleeding beyond the 18th week of pregnancy.

Evaluating the differences between D2 and D3 lymphadenectomy in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy in patients with right cancer colon post-operative outcome, intra-operative blood transfusion, post-operative ICU admission, anastomotic leakage, lymph node harvesting in the final specimen, and six months follow up and overall survival time after 5-years
