Twenty-three patients, mean age of 65 years, planned for emergency surgery because of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, were electrocoagulated with an endoscopic Storz monopolar flushing electrode. Nineteen patients were managed successfully. Two out of twelve patients with gastric ulcer and both
Postoperative bleeding requires blood transfusion and surgical re-exploration that can affect the short- and long-term postoperative outcomes. Interventions that can be used in the postoperative period to reduce blood loss should be developed. Continuous postoperative pericardial BACKGROUND
Prolonged or excessive blood loss is a common complication after cardiac surgery. Blood remnants and clots, remaining in the pericardial space in spite of chest tube drainage, induce high fibrinolytic activity that may contribute to bleeding complications. Continuous postoperative
In this prospective study, we examined the possible diagnostic value of the measurement of two endometrial proteins, placental protein-14 (PP14) and CA-125, in the evaluation of pre- and post-menopausal bleeding. Concentrations of these two proteins were measured in plasma and uterine flushings
BACKGROUND
Infrared endoscopy is used to visualize vessels in the GI tract. By applying this system, we developed a new method to visualize a bleeding point during endoscopic resection.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to evaluate the ability of infrared endoscopy to detect a bleeding point during
Desmopressin (DDAVP) is commonly used for treatment and prevention of bleeding complications in patients with bleeding disorders including haemophilia A, von Willebrand's disease (VWD) and other less common disorders. This article reviews the current evidence for the use of DDAVP in pregnancy to
Excessive bleeding, incomplete wound drainage, and subsequent accumulation of blood and clots in the pericardium have been associated with a broad spectrum of bleeding-related complications after cardiac surgery. We developed and studied the continuous postoperative pericardial OBJECTIVE
Pronase, a proteolytic enzyme, is known to improve mucosal visibility during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), but little is known about its effects on gastric biopsy. This study assessed whether endoscopic flushing with pronase improves the quality of gastric biopsy.
METHODS
Consecutive
There are inherent complications associated with chronic indwelling venous catheters for use as bleed catheters in long term hemorrhage experiments in conscious animals. As an alternative we have developed a protocol for bleeding conscious rabbits using a disposable catheter in the central ear
OBJECTIVE
To compare effectiveness and tolerability of carbetocin versus oxytocin in prevention of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal delivery.
METHODS
A prospective double-blinded randomized study conducted on 200 pregnant women randomized into two groups: Group 1 (100 women) received single
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of carbetocin vs. oxytocin in the management of atonic post partum haemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal delivery.
METHODS
A prospective randomised study was conducted in which 100 pregnant women were randomised into 2 equal
This report documents clinical features in five children who developed transient reddening of the skin (epidermal flushing) in association with acute elevations in intracranial pressure (ICP). Four boys and one girl (ages 9-15 years) deteriorated acutely secondary to intracranial hypertension
A 69-year-old woman with a medical history of stroke and an ICD device due to torsade de pointes was admitted with a right basal ganglia haemorrhage. In the hours after admission the patient's condition severely declined and she developed fever, hypertension and flushing consistent with autonomic
OBJECTIVE
Thromboses occur in connection with the use of venous port systems. Valid data on the instillation of heparin-based solutions in the lumen of the port system are lacking.
METHODS
One hundred and seventy-three patients with malignancy from 19 centres who had participated in an observation
Between 1981 and 1986, we evaluated 59 patients who presented with isolated prolongation of bleeding time with normal platelet counts, platelet aggregation and coagulation parameters (including von Willebrand's factor), and without evidence of liver or kidney disease, or exposure to anti-platelet
