NCT00488462 | Completed DMC

• 2 other identifiers: 1R01HD053129-01A15R01HD053129-03
• Study Type: interventional

• Sites: 5

Brief Summary

This trial will address the question of whether early application of the Non-pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG) at the Satellite Health Facility (SHF) level before transport to a Referral Hospital (RH) will decrease maternal mortality and morbidity. The available evidence indicates that the NASG substantially decreases blood loss, but there is no evidence that its application will reduce extreme adverse outcomes. It is also not known if possible side effects associated with NASG use might outweigh potential benefits. This study would rigorously test the effectiveness of the NASG using an experimental design with adequate power to detect statistically significant decreases in morbidity and mortality.

Conditions

Hypovolemic Shock; Hemorrhage

Keywords

obstetric hemorrhage; hypovolemic shock; non-pneumatic anti-shock garment; safe motherhood; maternal mortality; maternal morbidity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Frequency of mortalities and frequency of severe morbidities combined as extreme adverse outcomes

  during hospital stay

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Mean amount of blood loss in mL , frequency of emergency hysterectomy, time to recovery from shock.

  during hospital stay

Study Arms (2)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Clinics will collect data on patients experiencing shock due to obstetrical hemorrhage. In the control arm, half of the study clinics will not use the NASG but the NASG will be available at the referral hospital for patients transported there.

Intervention

OTHER

Clinics will collect data on patients experiencing shock due to obstetrical hemorrhage. In the intervention arm, half of the study clinics will use the NASG on patients before transporting to the referral hospital.

Device: non-pneumatic anti-shock garment

Interventions

non-pneumatic anti-shock garment DEVICE

In the intervention arm, half of the study clinics will use the NASG when a patient meets the study criteria.

Also known as: NASG, Anti-Shock Garment, Manufactured by Zoex, Life Wrap

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 15 Years+
• Sex: female
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Women who are pregnant or postpartum and experiencing obstetric hemorrhage with 2 of the following 3:
• blood loss \> 500 mL (at SHF, 1000 mL at RH) SBP \<100 mm Hg pulse \>100 bpm

You may not qualify if:

• Women suffering obstetric hemorrhage and hypovolemic shock who have no detectable vital signs (non palpable pulse and BP) at the time of their arrival at the RH are ineligible for enrolment in the study ("non-resuscitable") if: 1) the woman does not respond to resuscitation attempts after 30 minutes and 2) more than three hours have elapsed between the start of hemorrhage and the beginning of her treatment. (As this is a clinical intervention of a potentially life saving device, the study clinicians should try the NASG on any patient if they feel it may resuscitate her; however, if the woman meets the criteria above they are ineligible for having their data entered into the study.)
