Blood transfusion strategies for hemorrhagic shock
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares different blood transfusion approaches for people in hemorrhagic shock from trauma or severe bleeding in the upper digestive tract. It aims to find the safest and most effective way to give blood in emergency situations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 10 to 90.
- You have hemorrhagic shock from a trauma or from bleeding in your upper digestive tract.
- Your hemoglobin is less than 7 g/dL, or you have active bleeding needing emergency blood transfusion.
- You came to the hospital within 24 hours of the bleeding starting.
- You do not have end-stage organ failure or an active cancer.
- You do not have a known bleeding disorder or a history of serious reactions to blood transfusions.

This study tests whether adding the drug tranexamic acid (TXA) to a massive blood transfusion helps control life-threatening bleeding in children who are severely injured. It compares two groups: one gets TXA and the other gets a placebo (a dummy drug with no active ingredient).
This study looks at adult emergency patients who receive a whole blood transfusion before arriving at the hospital. It may help improve how prehospital blood transfusions are delivered in urgent situations.
This trial tests how bleeding from broken leg, arm, or pelvic bones affects patients and looks for better ways to manage shock. It is designed for adults arriving at the hospital within 24 hours of their injury.
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 tests whether giving blood more freely (liberal) or more sparingly (restrictive) is better for patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding who are anemic. It aims to find the safest approach for you.
This trial tests a standard set of emergency blood transfusions for people with life-threatening bleeding from a serious injury. It aims to improve survival by giving blood products quickly before reaching the hospital.
