Comparing two ways to give blood transfusions during c-section for heavy bleeding
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.

This study tests a new way to manage blood during surgery, which may reduce the need for donor blood transfusions. It compares standard care with a method that uses your own blood and a special device to monitor your blood flow.
This trial compares two drugs, oxytocin and carbetocin, to see which one better controls blood pressure and heart rate changes during cesarean section surgery. Both medicines help the uterus contract after delivery to reduce bleeding.
This trial tests two medicines given during a planned C-section to see which is better at preventing heavy bleeding. It may help make delivery safer for healthy women having a scheduled cesarean.
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 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 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.
