This study tracked 125 adult patients in the United States who received a medical procedure called embolization using the Obsidio device. The goal was to see how well and how safely the device works in everyday hospital practice to stop bleeding from certain tumors. Researchers f…

This study tested whether tranexamic acid, a drug that helps blood clot, could reduce serious bleeding or death in adults with blood cancers who have very low platelet counts from treatment. Over 600 patients were randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo (dummy t…

This study aimed to find the best way to give blood to people with severe bleeding before they reach the hospital. It compared three methods: giving a mix of plasma and red blood cells, giving only red blood cells, or giving only plasma. The goal was to see which method most quic…

This study tested whether a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) can safely reduce bleeding during tummy tuck surgery. Researchers compared blood loss in 60 patients who either received TXA or a placebo before their procedure. The goal was to see if this common medication could make…

This study tested whether a medication called tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces blood loss during cosmetic breast surgery. Researchers compared blood loss in 60 women who received either TXA or a placebo before their procedure. The goal was to see if TXA helps control bleeding and im…

This study tested whether adding leg compression sleeves to standard compression stockings was better at preventing blood clots than stockings alone. It focused on intensive care unit (ICU) patients who were at high risk of serious bleeding, meaning they could not safely take sta…

This trial tested whether applying a special gel called PuraBond during surgery to remove mouth or throat lesions helps patients recover with less pain. 73 patients were randomly assigned to have the gel applied or not during their operation. The main goal was to see if using the…

This study tested new MRI scanning methods to get clearer pictures of bleeding inside the heart muscle after a heart attack. Researchers enrolled 14 patients who had recently had a heart attack to see if these new scans could better identify damage and predict who might develop f…

This study tested whether a computer-based virtual coach could train medical staff as effectively as a human instructor for a critical emergency procedure called REBOA, which is used to stop life-threatening bleeding. Fourteen healthcare trainees practiced the procedure on a mixe…

This study looked back at the medical records of 217 patients in the Netherlands who were hospitalized for severe bleeding while taking certain blood thinners. All patients received a specific drug (andexanet alfa) designed to reverse the blood thinner's effect. The goal was to u…

This study tested the safety of a new, portable spray-dried plasma product called FrontlineODP. It involved 24 healthy volunteers who received infusions of their own plasma that had been dried and then rehydrated. The main goal was to see if this new form of plasma caused any sid…

This study looked back at 15 stroke patients who had signs of a brain condition called cerebral amyloid angopathy (CAA) on their MRI scans. All patients received a standard clot-busting drug (IV thrombolysis). Researchers wanted to see if having CAA made these patients more likel…

This study tested a new digital platform designed to automatically identify patients in the hospital who are experiencing bleeding. Researchers worked with 40 participants to see if this computer system could accurately spot bleeding cases using patient records and test results. …
