NCT ID: NCT05538390 Completed - Abdominal Trauma Clinical Trials

Assessment of Pattern of Abdominal Injury

Start date: September 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This hospital-based cross-sectional study was done at SPHMMC and AaBET hospitals from January 2018 to December 2019.The study aimed to assess the pattern of abdominal injury at St Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) and Addis Ababa Burn, Emergency and Trauma (AaBET) hospital, Addis Ababa Ethiopia.Data was collected from the trauma registry and patient files using a pretested structured questionnaire filled out by two trained data collectors.The collected data was entered and analyzed using statistical software SPSS version 25.0.

NCT ID: NCT05025449 Completed - Abdominal Trauma Clinical Trials

BEFAST (Bubble-Enhanced FAST) for the Evaluation of Solid Organ Injury

BEFAST
Start date: September 30, 2021
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) exam is widely used and accepted as part of advanced trauma life support (ATLS) protocol, but its low sensitivity for identifying solid organ injury in the absence of hemoperitoneum is a significant limitation. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has the potential to significantly enhance the evaluation of the trauma patient with acute intra-abdominal injury through the use of intravascular microbubbles that allow direct visualization of lacerations to solid organs. European studies have demonstrated that ultrasound contrast markedly improves the sensitivity of ultrasound in detecting solid organ injury, when the exam is performed in the radiology suite. The researchers hypothesize that the bubble-enhanced FAST or BEFAST exam will be more sensitive than traditional FAST for identification of solid organ injury in hemodynamically stable blunt abdominal trauma patients when performed by emergency providers.

NCT ID: NCT03952026 Completed - Polytrauma Clinical Trials

Impact of Associated Abdominal Injuries on Clinical and Operative Outcome in Pelvic Injuries

Start date: December 6, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Pelvic fractures are severe injuries which require advanced orthopedic surgical skills to treat. On the other hand, abdominal injuries are severe injuries, which might require quick general surgical treatment. The combination of both injuries is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons, as the abdominal injury might lead to a delayed surgical treatment of the pelvic fracture. Whether an associated abdominal injury influences the quality of care of pelvic fractures, is aim of this registry study.

NCT ID: NCT02728609 Completed - Abdominal Trauma Clinical Trials

An Analysis of Cytokine Concentration in Open Abdominal Closure of Trauma Patients

Start date: March 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to compare the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, protein content, and white blood cell (WBC) count present in the peritoneal fluid and plasma of trauma patients who undergo one of two different methods of open abdominal closure. Following analysis of the peritoneal fluid and serum samples, comparison of the results between the two groups will be completed and correlated with the overall organ function.

NCT ID: NCT01938885 Completed - Abdominal Trauma Clinical Trials

Hepatic Pseudoaneurysms After Trauma

Start date: October 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Hepatic pseudoaneurysm (HPA) is a rare complication after liver trauma, yet it is potentially fatal, as it can lead to sudden severe haemorrhage. The risk of developing posttraumatic hepatic pseudoaneurysm is one of the reasons why some trauma centres do follow-up CT of patients with liver injuries to take the therapeutic consequence. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of HPA post liver trauma.

NCT ID: NCT01763840 Completed - Abdominal Trauma Clinical Trials

Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound for Evaluation of Pediatric Abdominal Trauma

Start date: April 2013
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The research protocol aims to compare the utility of contrast enhanced abdominal sonography with computerized tomography in the evaluation of children with blunt abdominal trauma. Hemodynamically stable children ages 7-18 who are transferred to Children's Hospital on the trauma service with a CT scan of abdomen & pelvis already performed at the referring institution will be identified by the trauma service as eligible for inclusion. The ultrasounds will be performed by one of two Attending Radiologists involved in the study. The contrast being used for the study is Optison (GE Healthcare Inc, Princeton, NJ), which is an injectable suspension of Perflutren Protein-Type A Microspheres. This has been used in echocardiography as well as abdominal ultrasonography for evaluation of pediatric abdominal and pelvic solid tumors. The contrast enhanced ultrasound will be performed by radiologist. Contrast enhancement only lasts for 3-5 minutes per injection, therefore Optison will be redosed up to 2 additional doses for the completion of the ultrasound. Vital signs will be monitored for 30 minutes after the contrast agent is given and any adverse reactions will be recorded. Adverse reactions to Optison have occurred within this time frame in the literature. Subsequent medical care will be as indicated per the clinical practice guideline.
