Study type | Observational |
In this study we hope to delineate the typical vasoactive mediator response of trauma patients to shock. We plan to assess serum levels of vasopressin and also catecholamines, angiotensin, and cortisol during resuscitation of trauma patients to delineate high risk populations for vasopressin deficiency.
