Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients who have received hemostatic products during anesthesia for active hemorrhage.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who refuse to consent to data analysis and study participation will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to collect comprehensive data on transfusion practices during active hemorrhage in patients undergoing anesthesia. By gathering detailed information from patient files, the study seeks to facilitate modeling and analysis related to emergency transfusion protocols. The data collection will occur without altering the patients' management and will be limited to the acute management period. Patients will be informed about their inclusion in the registry during their anesthesia consultation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the safety and effectiveness of transfusion practices in emergency situations.
How similar studies have gone: While similar studies on transfusion practices exist, this specific approach to monitoring during anesthesia in emergency situations is relatively novel.

Similar studies
Other studies for the same condition or treatment. Recruiting studies are listed first.
-
Gastric emptying and feeding tolerance in ICU patients by vasopressor dose
This study tests whether vasopressor dose affects how well stomach contents empty during tube feeding in critically ill patients.
-
Argos system to track cardiac output changes in critically ill patients
This study tests whether the Argos monitor can reliably track how cardiac output changes after fluid administration or norepinephrine adjustments in critically ill adults already monitored with transpulmonary thermodilution.
-
Pulse palpation vs arterial blood pressure in circulatory shock
This study tests how well feeling for a pulse at typical sites matches the actual arterial blood pressure in adults with circulatory shock or risk of failure.
-
Femoral vein-to-artery diameter ratio to predict fluid responsiveness
This project will test whether a bedside ultrasound measurement of the femoral vein-to-artery diameter ratio can tell if mechanically ventilated ICU patients with acute circulatory failure or shock will increase their cardiac output after a 500 mL fluid bolus.
-
Right ventricular–arterial coupling during fluid loading in ICU patients
This study tests how the right ventricle handles fluid changes in critically ill adults to see how it affects blood flow and congestion.
-
Uterine artery ligation versus pericervical tourniquet to reduce bleeding during open myomectomy
This trial will test whether tying the uterine arteries or using a pericervical tourniquet better reduces blood loss during open myomectomy for women with symptomatic uterine fibroids.
