POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE

This study tested whether giving tranexamic acid (TXA) during a C-section can prevent severe bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage). Over 4,500 women having a planned or unplanned C-section at 34 weeks or later took part. The drug was compared to a placebo to see if it reduced the need…

This study tested two medications, methylergonovine and carboprost, to see which works better for treating heavy bleeding after childbirth caused by the uterus not contracting properly. 100 women who had a cesarean delivery and still had bleeding after standard treatment took par…

This study tested whether adding tranexamic acid to a standard clotting factor treatment (recombinant von Willebrand factor) can better prevent heavy bleeding after childbirth in women with von Willebrand disease. Twenty pregnant women with the condition were randomly assigned to…

This study looked at the best time to give a drug called carbetocin to prevent heavy bleeding after a normal vaginal delivery. Researchers studied 200 first-time mothers to see if giving the drug earlier or later made a difference in bleeding, side effects, and the need for extra…

This study looked at 1,000 women with autoimmune diseases (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) who had a C-section. The goal was to find out how often severe bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage) happens and what factors increase that risk. Researchers hope this will help doctors bett…

This study reviewed the medical records of 649 women who had severe bleeding after a C-section. Researchers aimed to understand how much blood was lost, how many needed transfusions or intensive care, and what treatments were used. The goal is to improve care and reduce risks for…

This study measured how blood clotting changes during planned C-sections and whether the drug tranexamic acid (TXA) can help prevent heavy bleeding. Researchers took blood samples from 34 women before and after delivery to analyze clotting time. The goal was to better understand …

This study looked at whether a tool called the Obstetric Comorbidity Index can predict severe health problems in women who have heavy bleeding after a C-section. Researchers reviewed the records of 583 patients to see if the index could identify those at highest risk. The goal is…

This study looked at 90 women who had severe bleeding after childbirth (postpartum hemorrhage). Researchers used a device called Sonoclot to quickly measure how well their blood was clotting. The goal was to see if this test could help doctors spot clotting problems early and gui…

This study looked at how the painkiller ketorolac affects blood clotting in 40 women after planned C-sections. Researchers used special tests to measure platelet function. The goal was to understand bleeding risk, not to treat a disease. Results may help guide safer pain manageme…
