NCT06655207
Oli is a predictive, non-invasive device, intended to be placed on the participant's maternal abdomen during the intrapartum period, which can alert healthcare professionals of an impending cumulative blood loss of ≥500 ml (abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding) or cumulative blood loss of ≥1000ml (postpartum haemorrhage) at least 1 hour in advance of birth. This study is being undertaken to assess the performance of Oli measuring cumulative blood loss ≥500ml and ≥1000ml, as well as evaluate its safety profile.
NCT02775773
The purpose of this study was to evaluate that the tranexamic acid (TXA)Intravenous and oral, is equivalent oxytocin (OXY),intramuscularly, in reducing the blood loss in post partum period (mL) in patients at the end of pregnancy ( 37-42 w ) at low risk of post partum hemorrhage (PPH). The PPH means a blood loss equal to or greater than 500 ml after a vaginal delivery (the bleeding is defined severe if it exceeds 1000 mL). PPH is called "primary" when blood loss arose within 24 hours after birth.
NCT02908126
This is a Phase I open-label, parallel-group clinical study in healthy term pregnant females undergoing a caesarean section. Two administrations of oxytocin will be tested, after which uterine contractility will be assessed.
NCT02216383
A quarter of all pregnancy and child-birth related deaths are due to excessive bleeding after the birth, "post-partum haemorrhage" (PPH). In the UK, PPH affects approx 10% of new mothers. PPH can be frightening for women and cause them to need additional treatments prolonging their hospital stay. Commonly PPH is caused by an inadequately contracted womb after childbirth. Giving the mother an injection of "uterotonic" medicine following the birth of their baby can prevent this. It reduces the risk of PPH by 66%. In the UK, the two medicines most commonly used are Syntocinon and Syntometrine. Syntometrine is longer acting, but a published review of trials concluded that Syntometrine is no better at preventing severe blood loss. Syntometrine is associated with more side effects including nausea, vomiting, and high blood pressure, and has been linked with rare, but fatal, cases of stroke. All guidelines therefore recommend Syntocinon for preventing PPH.Following a telephone survey of all maternity units in the UK, 71.4% of units still routinely use Syntometrine. Carbetocin is a newer medicine, already widely used after caesarean section, but not yet after vaginal birth. Other studies have shown that Carbetocin is slightly better at preventing bleeding after birth when compared to Syntometrine, has fewer side effects than Syntometrine, and that it may be just as good as Syntocinon at preventing PPH. No studies have directly compared all three medicines or compared their overall cost; information vital to the NHS. Investigators propose a trial of 5712 women over 13 months, in four maternity units to compare the effectiveness, side effects and cost of Syntocinon, Syntometrine and Carbetocin, for women having a vaginal birth. Women will be randomly allocated to receive one of these drugs. Women and staff will not know which drug they receive. Staff will collect data such as the number of extra drugs and treatments needed and the volume of blood lost. Women will be asked to complete a side effects questionnaire. Investigators will perform an analysis of cost effectiveness once all results are available. Aim: To directly compare the effectiveness, side effects and cost of Syntocinon, Syntometrine and Carbetocin given intramuscularly to prevent PPH in the 3rd stage of labour.
NCT02900690
The main objective of this project is to assess the average cost of the treatment of bleeding postpartum with recombinant activated factor VII (NovoSeven®) and compare it to the reference strategy. Costs related to medicine NovoSeven® can generate surplus, but it also avoids in some cases very costly invasive procedures. It will be interesting to compare the average cost of the complete strategies supported.
NCT01572805
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of melatonin on pain and amount of blood loss after cesarean delivery one hundred twenty women with singleton term pregnancy undergoing elective or emergency lower segment cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were included in this study. The patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups of 40 each to receive sublingual 3 mg melatonin or 6 mg melatonin or placebo before spinal of anesthesia . In all patients 20 IU syntocinon which dissolved in 0.5liter of lactated Ringer's solution) at the rate of 500 ml over a 15 minutes period, immediately after delivery of the neonate was infused . Time to first requirement of analgesic supplement, Hemodynamic variables,will be recorded.Patients were instructed preoperatively in the use of the verbal rating scale (VRS) from 0 to 10 (0no pain, 10maximum imaginable pain) for pain assessment. If the VRS exceeded four and the patient requested a supplement analgesic, diclofenac Na supp 100 mg was to be given for post-operative pain relief as needed . For breakthrough pain(VRS \>4) if time of administration of diclofenac Na less than 8h,Pethidine 25 mg IV was given. For determination of blood loss ,change in hemoglobin levels, need for additional oxytocics and ,the volume of blood in the suction bottle was measured, blood soaked sponges. Hemoglobin values were determined both before surgery and 12 h following surgery
