ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new way to quickly assess and manage postpartum hemorrhage, which is heavy bleeding that can occur after childbirth. The study is looking at a device called sonoclot, which helps measure blood clotting and can provide important information about the bleeding. Postpartum hemorrhage is a serious condition that can happen for various reasons, but the most common cause is when the uterus doesn't contract properly after delivery. By using the sonoclot, doctors hope to identify any problems with blood clotting right away, which could lead to better treatment and improved outcomes for mothers.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be women who are experiencing bleeding within the first 24 hours after giving birth. This includes those with specific conditions that can lead to postpartum hemorrhage, such as uterine atony or certain blood disorders. However, women who bleed after 24 hours, have had a miscarriage, or have experienced bleeding due to trauma will not be included. Those who join the trial can expect to have their blood clotting monitored closely so that any necessary treatments can be given quickly. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to help improve care for new mothers facing this serious condition.
