This study tests a special patch called TachoSil against a standard surgical pad (Surgicel) to see which works better for controlling minor oozing during open abdominal, chest, or pelvic surgeries. It may be an option if you are having certain types of surgery and have a small area of mild bleeding that needs help to stop.
This study looks at whether using a tourniquet (a tight band to stop severe bleeding) after a serious arm or leg injury is linked to developing long-term pain. If you had such an injury and a tourniquet was used, doctors want to learn more to improve future care and pain management.
This study tests two ways of releasing a tourniquet (a pressure cuff) after arm surgery to see which keeps blood pressure more stable in people with controlled high blood pressure. If you are having arm or hand surgery with a tourniquet, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a special tourniquet for the belly area (AAJT-S) that may help control severe bleeding from lower-body injuries before or during hospital care. It aims to find out if this device can save lives when standard pressure methods cannot stop the bleeding.
This study compares different types of tourniquets (tight cuffs) used during knee replacement surgery to see how they affect blood loss and how satisfied surgeons are with them.
This trial compares tourniquet use during ankle fracture surgery. It looks at outcomes for patients with a simple (closed) ankle fracture caused by a ground-level fall who are having metal plates and screws placed.
