Syringe vs. pressure bag: which saves more blood in C-Section emergencies?

NCT ID NCT07466719

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two methods of giving blood transfusions to women who have heavy bleeding during a C-section: manual syringing (using a 20 mL syringe) and a pneumatic pressure bag (inflated to 300 mmHg). The goal is to see which method is safer and faster at stabilizing vital signs and which causes less damage to red blood cells. Fifty women aged 18-45 will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods and closely monitored.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could identify a safer and faster way to give blood transfusions during emergency C-sections, especially in hospitals with limited resources.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or settings. Both methods are already used in practice, so no major breakthrough is expected.
