This study tested whether a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce blood loss in women having breast cosmetic surgery. 60 women took part, and researchers measured blood loss and related lab values. The goal is to see if TXA helps control bleeding during these procedure…

This study looked at 120 people with severe bleeding who needed a blood transfusion before reaching the hospital. Researchers compared three approaches: giving a mix of plasma and red blood cells, red blood cells alone, or plasma alone. The goal was to see which strategy best tre…

This study tested whether a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce blood loss during abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery. 60 adults scheduled for the procedure were included. Researchers measured blood loss and blood markers to see if TXA helps control bleeding.

This study tested whether a drug called tranexamic acid can lower the risk of serious bleeding or death in people with blood cancers who have very low platelet counts. Over 600 adults receiving chemotherapy or a stem cell transplant were randomly given either the drug or a placeb…

This study looked at how well and how safely the Obsidio device blocks blood vessels to control bleeding from hypervascular tumors. It involved 125 patients in the U.S. who were treated with Obsidio. The main goals were to see if the device successfully blocked the target vessels…

This study tested two doses of tranexamic acid, a drug that helps blood clot, to see if it could reduce blood loss in women having a C-section who were already bleeding heavily (over 800 mL). The trial involved 225 participants and compared the drug to a placebo. The goal was to …

This study tested whether adding intermittent pneumatic compression (a device that squeezes the legs) to elastic stockings reduces blood clots in intensive care patients who are at high risk of bleeding. 408 adults in ICUs were randomly assigned to get either the compression devi…

This study tested whether applying a gel called PuraBond to the surgical wound after mouth or throat surgery can reduce pain and complications. 73 adults having surgery for abnormal growths or cancer were randomly assigned to receive the gel or not. Researchers measured pain leve…

This study looked at 600 heart surgery patients to see if a new, rapid blood test called Quantra can accurately measure bleeding risk. The goal was to find out if Quantra could replace or support standard lab tests to help doctors decide when to give blood transfusions. The study…

This study reviewed medical records of 217 Dutch adults hospitalized with serious bleeding while taking a factor Xa inhibitor blood thinner. All patients received andexanet alfa to reverse the blood thinner's effects. Researchers aimed to describe patient characteristics and outc…

This study tested whether a virtual coach can teach a life-saving emergency procedure as well as a human instructor. Fourteen adults used a mixed-reality simulator to learn how to insert a balloon into the aorta to stop severe bleeding. The goal was to see if the virtual coach wa…

This study tested new MRI methods to better detect bleeding inside the heart muscle after a heart attack. Researchers studied 14 adults who had a heart attack to see if these scans could map the bleeding more clearly than standard MRI. The goal is to help doctors identify patient…

This study looked back at 15 stroke patients who had a condition called cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), which makes blood vessels in the brain fragile and prone to bleeding. All received a clot-busting drug (IV thrombolysis) for their stroke. Researchers checked CT scans 24 ho…

This study tested a digital platform that helps hospital staff quickly identify patients who are bleeding, so they can be asked to join future research studies. About 40 adults who were admitted to the hospital or visited the emergency department took part. The goal was to see if…

This early-stage study tested the safety of a new spray-dried plasma product called FrontlineODP in 24 healthy adults. Participants received one, two, or four units of the product, and their safety was compared to those receiving standard frozen plasma. The goal was to see if the…
