Filter by:This is a single-blinded, randomized clinical trial to determine if the Layperson Audiovisual Assist tourniquet's (LAVA TQ) ability to occlude arterial blood flow is non-inferior to that of the Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT).
This is a single-center, not-randomized, open-label, controlled pilot clinical trial. This study compares presence of Trauma Induced Coagulopathy (TIC) and acute traumatic hemorrhage treatment at pre-hospital phase of care with red blood cells (RBC), Tranexamic acid (TXA) and Fibrinogen Concentrate (FC) with the current treatment based on the administration of Crystalloids and TXA.
This is a randomized controlled study evaluating the ability of laypersons to correctly apply a tourniquet using different instructional methods. There are four arms being evaluated: flashcards, audio-kit with visual aids, formal in person Bleeding Control Basic (B-Con) course, and a control arm. All participants will then undergo B-Con training at the end of each session and then participants will be evaluated within a 3-6 month time period to evaluate their retention of knowledge and skills taught by the B-Con course.
The purpose of this study is to determine if 1 gram of prehospital tranexamic acid given during emergency medical transport to a level 1 trauma center in patients at risk of hemorrhage is associated with lower 30 day mortality.
Trauma surgeons throughout the US have begun using recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) to control severe hemorrhage following injury when traditional measures have failed. Despite promising results from several small studies, there remain several unanswered questions regarding the use of this relatively expensive product in injured patients including: - The timing of administration - Selection of appropriate patients who are most likely to benefit - The effective dose in injured patients - The potential need for repeated dosing - The need for administration of platelets and correction of acidosis prior to administering the first dose - The risks associated with the use of rFVIIa including venous and/or arterial thrombosis - The potential for rFVIIa to cause or aggravate post-injury organ failure and/or infectious complications - An analysis of cost versus benefit The purpose of this study is to collect a large sample of patients from multiple institutions in order to address the issues listed above. To this end, the Western Trauma Association Foundation is sponsoring a multi-center case registry for patients receiving rFVIIa for treatment of uncontrolled hemorrhage.
