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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You are scheduled for a cesarean section (c-section).

- You agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- You do not have blood disorders like sickle cell disease or thalassemia.

This trial tests whether giving a specific combination of three medicines during a planned c-section is better than one medicine alone for preventing postpartum hemorrhage (heavy bleeding after birth).
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 study compares two medications (tranexamic acid and oxytocin) given directly into the uterus during a planned cesarean section to see which works better at reducing blood loss. It is for women with a single, full-term pregnancy and no major health complications.
This study compares two doses of oxytocin (a medicine given during cesarean section to prevent heavy bleeding) to see which works better for women with high-risk pregnancies. If you are having a planned cesarean and have certain risk factors, this trial may help find the best dose for you.
This trial tests two different spinal anesthesia techniques to see which one better prevents low blood pressure during planned cesarean delivery. It aims to improve safety and comfort for mothers.
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.
