This study is testing a new medical device called KOKO™ designed to control severe bleeding that can occur after giving birth. Researchers will enroll 72 women who experience this type of bleeding to see if the device can safely stop it and reduce the need for more invasive proce…

This study is testing a special abdominal tourniquet device as an emergency treatment for severe, life-threatening bleeding after childbirth when standard medications and treatments have failed. The device is applied to the upper abdomen and inflated to temporarily reduce blood f…

This study is testing a new, portable device that gives a rapid result for a key blood-clotting protein (fibrinogen) in mothers experiencing severe bleeding after delivery. The goal is to see if this quick bedside test is as accurate as the standard, slower lab test. If successfu…

This study is testing whether a simple procedure—draining blood from the umbilical cord right after birth—can help prevent severe bleeding in mothers. Researchers will compare 400 women in Honduras, with half receiving the cord drainage and half receiving standard care. They will…

This study is testing whether a special educational video game helps nursing students learn to manage postpartum hemorrhage (dangerous bleeding after childbirth) better than traditional classroom teaching alone. Seventy third-year nursing students will be split into two groups: o…

This study looks back at medical records to see how often a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) was given to mothers who had dangerous bleeding after a C-section. Researchers want to understand if the increased use of this drug, recommended by global health authorities since 2017, …
