An interventional study of Chitosan-covered-gauze application and Suturation in Effectiveness of Chitosan Covered Gauze to Stop Bleeding in Post-partum Tears and Comparison of the Effect of Chitosan Covered Gauze With Suturing in Terms of Hemostasis in Post-partum Haemorrhagic Tears, sponsored by Istanbul Training and Research Hospital. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 48 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-17.
Sponsored by Istanbul Training and Research Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study was planned to investigate the efficacy of different treatment methods that can be used in the treatment of hemorrhagic tears that may occur in the postpartum period. The volunteers who will participate in the study will be evaluated during the hospitalization period after delivery and at the end of the puerperium 6 weeks after delivery, in accordance with routine postpartum control examinations. In the treatment of postpartum hemorrhagic tears, the treatment options such as suturing the tears to stop bleeding or applying tampons with bleeding stopping agent (chitosan) and compression effect to the torn area will be determined completely randomly.

Hemostasis of the tears is obtained by the application of chitosan-covered-gauze
Procedure: Chitosan-covered-gauze application
Hemostasis of the tears is obtained by suturing
Procedure: Suturation
Effectiveness of chitosan-covered-gauze in terms of patients' comfort and satisfaction, hospital stay, total amount of bleeding, hemoglobin decline and other complications (infections, need for transfusion etc.) for the treatment of hemorrhagic obstetrical tears
Effectiveness of suturation in terms of patients' comfort and satisfaction, hospital stay, total amount of bleeding, hemoglobin decline and other complications (infections, need for transfusion etc.) for the treatment of hemorrhagic obstetrical tears
Amount of bleeding
Total amount of blood which is calculated by subtracting the dry weight of surgical absorbant gauze materials from their soaked weight
Time frame: From time of birth to the cessation of bleeding
