About this study

This study will test the efficacy of the NASG on women suffering from obstetric hemorrhage as compared to hemorrhaging women who do not receive the NASG.

Read the detailed description

This is a comparative, pre-post study of the Non-pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG) to establish its effectiveness in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity due to obstetrical hemorrhage. The sites are two maternity teaching hospitals in Egypt: El Galaa, in Cairo and Assiut University in Assiut.

Our main aim was to test the efficacy of the NASG on women suffering from obstetric hemorrhage as compared to hemorrhaging women who do not receive the NASG. Our primary outcome was Extreme Adverse Outcomes (EAO) - a combined outcome of maternal mortality and severe morbidity. Secondary outcomes included mean measured blood loss and incidence of emergency hysterectomy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Non-pneumatic Anti-shock Garment (NASG)Device

    Also called NASG, Manufactured by Zoex, Anti-Shock Garment, Life Wrap

    In the Post-Intrevention phase of the study, the NASG will be used when a patient meets the study criteria.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Extreme Adverse Outcomes (EAO) - a Combined Outcome of Maternal Mortality or Severe Morbidity (Cardiac,Respiratory, Renal or Cerebral Dysfunction)

    Measured: from early pregnancy to within 3 weeks postpartum

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Blood Loss Due to Obstetric Hemorrhage

    cumulative blood loss measured hourly upon study admission by calibrated blood collection drape

    Measured: within 72 hours of study enrollment

  2. Emergency Hysterectomy

    incidence of emergency hysterectomy for cases of uterine atony

    Measured: within 72 hours of study enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Non-pneumatic Anti-shock Garment (NASG) in people with Hypovolemic Shock and Hemorrhage, run by University of California, San Francisco at 2 sites in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jul 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Extreme Adverse Outcomes (EAO) - a Combined Outcome of Maternal Mortality or Severe Morbidity (Cardiac,Respiratory, Renal or Cerebral Dysfunction) (time frame: from early pregnancy to within 3 weeks postpartum). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00305253, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 May 2013.
