Filter by:This clinical trial aims to test the effectiveness of ELLASI intervention in response time, deterioration score, and metabolic status of polytrauma patients in the emergency department. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the response time of polytrauma patients who receive ELLASI in the intervention group faster than the control group? 2. Is the deterioration score of polytrauma patients who receive ELLASI in the intervention group better than the control group? 3. Is the metabolic status of polytrauma patients who receive ELLASI in the intervention group better than the control group? Polytrauma patients in the intervention group will receive ELLASI, a structured intervention consisting of the six following: 1. Evaluation of airway and cervical control, remove the foreign body, fluid, etc., from the airway, 2. Patient positioning and giving oxygen, head-up, 3. Stabilisation, including IV insertion, applying pressure and bandage, place monitor, and haemodynamic monitoring 4. Assessment: re-assessment of pain and other main complaints 5. Make sure informed consents are documented 6. Inform patient and family for further intervention Polytrauma patients in the control group will receive the usual/standard intervention. Response time, early warning score, and arterial blood gas of polytrauma patients from both groups will be obtained and documented before and after the intervention.
The goal of this observational study is to develop a Clinical Decision Support System for severe patients with polytrauma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is it possible to predict the development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome for the next 24 h after admission? - Is it possible to predict the development of blood loss >25% of blood volume for the next 24 h after admission? - Is it possible to predict the development of acute traumatic coagulopathy for the next 24 h after admission? - Is it possible to predict the development of pneumonia in polytrauma patients? - Is it possible to predict the outcome in polytrauma patients? No intervention is planned for this study.
Major trauma can lead to a dysregulated response to secondary infection. Severe injuries are accompanied by pro- and antiinflammatory changes that affect both adaptive and innate immunity. In this study we aim to assess cellular immuno-competence early during treatment in an attempt to identify signs of immuno-suppression.
Temporary aortic occlusion can limit haemorrhage, can help to maintain perfusion to the heart and brain, and may be associated with improved survival. Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) potentially provides a relatively quick means of achieving this temporary control. In the past years, studies have tried to evaluate the benefit for this method with conflicting results. The previous UK-REBOA trial has not found any benefit in the intervention group and has even hinted at possible harm caused by the intervention. A major limitation of this study is the low number of interventions performed in participating trauma centres and the associated potentially insufficient experience with REBOA. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of REBOA in a setting with already experienced providers.
Traumatic injuries, defined as a physical injury with sudden onset, are a leading cause to disability and impaired health. Persons who sustain a traumatic injury often report problems in daily life activities and reduced quality of life, which may limit participation in work/studies, leisure activities and family life. Consequently, complex rehabilitation and support is recommended in National Trauma guidelines due to the often long-lasting physical and psychological sequela of the injury. The main goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a self-management support program delivered to persons with a moderate or severe traumatic injury in the sub-acute phase of recovery (i.e. 3-4 months after injury). The self-management program aims to enhance patients' self-efficacy by building skills and self-management strategies to cope with injury-related consequences. The program has a group-based format and consists of eight sessions comprising psychoeducation, skill mastery and sharing of experiences. The participants who will be included in the study must be between 18 and 70 years, be residing in the southeast region of Norway, be admitted to Oslo University hospital or transferred from local hospital within 72 hours after injury, have at least a two-day hospital stay, and be able to read and understand Norwegian language. Participants will be randomly assigned to either intervention or control group. A group of patients will also be able to self-select if they want to receive the self-management support program or be in the control group. The latter is an explorative part of the study to evaluate the influence of patients' treatment-preferences on the study outcomes. Participants in the control group will receive treatment as usual.
Collect data about physiological examination values, blood test values and radiological examination results of patients admitted to the hospital for major trauma. There are different causes of mortality in multiple trauma patients. In this study, review the multiple symptoms and parameters of major trauma patients. We hope to understand and develop one feasible assessment model for emergency departments for enable rapid diagnosis and treatment evaluation about major trauma patients occurrence.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn if the use of a low-dose nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), ketorolac, reduces the rate of chronic opioid use in orthopaedic polytrauma patients. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Are patients who are given scheduled ketorolac during the first five hospital days less likely to develop chronic opioid use at 6 months after injury compared to patients who receive placebo? 2. Does scheduled ketorolac during the first five hospital days improve functional responses to pain at discharge, 3 months, and 6 months after injury? 3. Does early pain control provided by ketorolac decrease chronic opioid use through decreased acute pain and opioid use, improved functional responses to pain, or both? Participants will be enrolled and randomized to either the ketorolac (treatment) group or placebo group to be given every 6 hours during the first five hospital days. Pain and opioid use will be measured daily during the five-day treatment period. Opioid use will be measured and functional response to pain surveys will be obtained at discharge, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after injury. Researchers will compare ketorolac (treatment) versus saline (placebo) to see if ketorolac reduces chronic opioid use and improves the functional response to pain.
This study aims to investigate the true incidence and clinical presentation of post-traumatic AKI in hospitalized pediatric patients and identify the risk, and severity of AKI. The results would aid the emergency physicians in the early identification of those at risk of AKI to establish a resuscitation strategy that aims at preventing AKI
The aim of this study is to identify the incidence and the factors associated with acute kidney injury in adult poly trauma patients
Introduction: Injuries are a leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is necessary to know the incidence of injuries, mechanisms of wounds, therapy provided, and outcomes. Trauma registries are useful to describe the population served in specialized centers. Nevertheless, it is necessary also to identify the peculiarities of the event in the province and institutions non-dedicated to trauma attention. Objective: The study aims to describe the initial experience with a trauma register in a general hospital in the Colombian Orinoquia. Methodology: The investigators designed an observational retrospective study to analyze the admission database and revision of history charts of patients older than 15 years admitted for trauma from January to June 2023 in a hospital from Villavicencio, Colombia. The information will be exported to Excel for debugging and analysis. A description of the frequency and proportion of categorical variables will be performed; the central distribution and dispersion of quantitative variables will be reported. U of Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests will be used to compare the variables by outcome; a p<0.05 was selected as a significant value. Conclusions: It will be a pioneer study in this region, and it is necessary to evaluate the incidence of patients admitted by trauma, the mechanisms and type of injury, the care provided, and the outcomes.
