To assess the efficacy and side-effects of re-infusion of unwashed shed blood during off-pump coronary artery surgery using a novel cardiotomy circuit.
NCT04833556
Postpartum haemorrhage is the common cause of maternal death worldwide. The primary purpose of this study is to identify the maternal outcomes after PPH. The highlighted outcome is the anesthetic management including rate of blood transfusion and incidence of patient experiencing massive blood transfusion. The secondary purposes of this study are amount of blood loss, causes of PPH and other outcomes that related to PPH such as the rate of hysterectomy and postoperative outcome eg. congestive heart failure, acute kidney injury and TRALI etc. Additionally, incidence of PPH will be studied. Data collection will be made to identify the cause of PPH, anesthetic techniques that may related to the amount of hemorrhage, medical treatment for PPH and neonatal outcomes. We also aim to obtain the rate of ICU admission and revealed the factors involving the ICU admission in PPH patients underwent cesarean delivery.

ABO-incompatible red blood cell transfusions still represent an important hazard in transfusion medicine. Therefore, some countries have introduced a systematic bedside ABO agglutination test checking that the right blood is given to the right patient. However, this strategy is entirely manual, requires an extremely time-consuming learning program and relies on a subjective interpretation of agglutination on ABO test cards (for example Biorad, Diagast). The ULB spinoff Antigon developed a prototype device on the basis of a technology developed in the Translational research laboratory of CHU-Brugmann, ULB. This device is specifically dedicated to perform a "near patient" control of the blood group of the patient and of the blood bag just before transfusion, and to control that the right blood bag is given to the right patient by cross-checking their identifications. The principle of the assay relies on an agglutination and filtration in a disk including anti A,B and D antibodies. The goal of this study is to validate the analytical performances of this device (phase A) and to validate the clinical performances of this device (phase B).

The prevalence of transfusion reactions is between 1 and 11% of transfusions. Most reactions are mild and do not pose a life-threatening risk to the patient. More serious problems may be the only manifestations that lead to suspicion of a transfusion reaction. Most noninfectious transfusion reactions are immune-mediated. Two main types of reactions can be distinguished: TACO (transfusion associated cardiac overload, which is a cardiogenic pulmonary edema) and TRALI (transfusion related acute lung injury, non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema). Although TRALI are diagnoses of exclusion, the presence of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema and respiratory problems in the vicinity of blood product transfusions should raise suspicion. Other signs of TRALI are hypotension and tachycardia, while in TACO arterial hypertension with positive water balance can be observed. According to previous reports, the prevalence of transfusion reactions in the neonatal population is approximately 8%. Factors associated with these reactions are low birth weight and low gestational age. However, diagnostic criteria of respiratory transfusion reactions are not uniform across studies, and often the generic terms "acute lung injury" have been used. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the respiratory trend during blood transfusions; secondary objectives are the study of risk factors for the development of respiratory worsening and the possible association with complications.
NCT06244264
The goal of this single-center prospective randomized controlled trial is to test and compare the safety and effectiveness of autologous blood transfusion in spinal surgery for lung cancer spinal metastases. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does autologous blood transfusion increase the incidence of new metastases? * Does autologous blood transfusion affect postoperative hemoglobin levels and the number of circulating tumor cells in the blood? * Can autologous blood transfusion reduce the rate of allogeneic transfusion during and after surgery for spinal metastases?

To prospectively study the effect of adherence to ERAS and PBM programs on early outcomes after colorectal surgery
NCT03444610
Blood transfusion is very lengthy procedure and consumes a substantial time from patients and health care providers. On average, it may take most if not all the working day which leads to significant constrains on hospital bed utilization. It starts from pre-transfusion testing, clinical assessment, actual administration of blood and post-transfusion care. The main bulk of this procedure is usually related to administration of the blood which typically given over 3 hours (5ml/kg/hour), although there is no strong evidence to support that. Indeed, it has been accepted as standard of care to transfuse blood over short time as in emergency situations. OBJECTIVE: To determine the maximum tolerated blood transfusion rate that can be safely delivered in patient who required blood transfusion i.e. transfusing blood over short time. METHOD: This is a phase I, open label, nonrandomized, prospective and rate-finding study. A well-known dose escalation design called 3+3 design will be used to identify the maximum tolerated rate. To assure the safety of such procedure, blood transfusion rate will be escalated very slowly by 1 ml/kg/hour for each cohort until rate-limiting toxicities or maximum of 10ml/kg/hour.

Based on the principle of patient blood management, this study aims to reduce the risk of blood transfusion in allogeneic liver transplantation patients, to ensure the safety of blood transfusion, and to provide new methods and basis for restrictive blood transfusion.
