New trial aims to find best drug to stop bleeding in High-Risk C-Sections
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study compares two drugs—tranexamic acid and vasopressin—to see which works better at reducing blood loss during planned C-sections in women with placenta previa, a condition where the placenta covers the cervix. 58 women will be randomly assigned to receive one of the drugs…

A simple angle on an ultrasound scan may reveal how deeply a placenta has invaded
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingPlacenta accreta spectrum happens when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus, which can cause dangerous bleeding during delivery. Doctors struggle to predict how severe each case will be before surgery. This study measures a new ultrasound angle, the placenta-cervical int…
