This trial tests whether giving calcium and vasopressin early can improve outcomes in people with major injury who are at risk for life-threatening bleeding shock. It mainly includes patients who need rapid blood transfusion and likely major surgery to stop bleeding.
This trial compares giving whole blood versus standard care in adults with severe trauma and dangerous blood loss (hemorrhagic shock). The goal is to see if whole blood helps stabilize patients faster and improves outcomes after major bleeding.
This trial looks at two medicines (PCC and recombinant activated Factor VIIa) that help blood clot, to see which works better for trauma patients who need a lot of blood transfusions. If you have a severe injury and need many blood transfusions quickly, this study may help identify the best treatment.
This trial tests whether giving whole blood (instead of separate blood parts) to adults with major traumatic bleeding in the prehospital setting improves survival. It's for patients who need blood immediately after a serious injury.
This trial checks if a fast bedside test for fibrinogen (a protein that helps blood clot) can help guide treatment for trauma patients who are actively bleeding. It may lead to better care in the emergency department.
This trial tests if giving calcium through an IV before a C-section can help reduce blood loss in women at higher risk for heavy bleeding due to the uterus not contracting well.
