Aortic compression during C-section to reduce blood loss
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether gently compressing the major blood vessel in the abdomen during a C-section can reduce blood loss. It may help you stay safer during surgery, especially by lowering the chance of heavy bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to have a C-section (cesarean delivery)
- You are at 34 weeks of pregnancy or later
- If you are pregnant with more than one baby, the babies must be alive at the time of surgery
- Your pre-surgery hemoglobin (“blood level”) must be at least 100 g/L
- You must not be having a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) at the same time as the C-section

This trial tests whether giving a medicine called tranexamic acid before a cesarean section (c-section) can help reduce the amount of blood loss during the surgery. It may be an option for women having either a planned or unplanned c-section.
This study compares two ways to prevent heavy bleeding after a C-section. One uses a combination of three medicines, and the other uses a single medicine. The goal is to find which is safer and more effective at reducing blood loss.
This trial studies whether tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, can prevent postpartum hemorrhage (heavy bleeding after delivery) in people having a planned C-section or likely vaginal delivery after 34 weeks. It may help lower the risk of dangerous bleeding around the time of birth.
This trial tests whether giving a drug called tranexamic acid before a planned C-section can reduce the risk of severe bleeding after birth. It is for women who are otherwise healthy and expecting a single baby.
This trial studies whether tranexamic acid can prevent heavy bleeding after a planned or urgent cesarean delivery in people with placenta previa. If you qualify, you may receive the study drug to help your body keep blood loss lower during and after surgery.
This trial tests if using a manual syringe or an automatic pressure bag is better and safer for giving blood transfusions to women who have major bleeding during a cesarean section. It aims to find which method works faster and with fewer complications.
