Filter by:PIPT Trial (Philadelphia Immediate Transport in Penetrating Trauma Trial) A prospective randomized clinical trial comparing pre-hospital procedures to immediate transportation in patients with penetrating injury and shock.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the use of RBC, FDP, WB in the treatment of exsanguinating patients by physician-staffed emergency medical services in Norway, with focus on prehospital transfusion complications and safety.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether remote ischemic conditioning is a safe and effective intervention to prevent the development of inflammation and coagulopathy in trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock.
MP4OX is being developed as an ischemic rescue therapy to perfuse and oxygenate tissues at risk during hemorrhagic shock. MP4OX is a pegylated hemoglobin-based colloid designed to improve perfusion and target delivery of oxygen to ischemic tissues. This study will evaluate safety and efficacy of MP4OX treatment, in addition to standard therapy, in trauma patients suffering from lactic acidosis due to severe hemorrhagic shock.
Bleeding is the most avoidable cause of death in trauma patients. Up to one-third of severely injured trauma patients are found to be coagulopathic and forty percent of the mortality following severe injury is due to uncontrollable hemorrhage in the setting of coagulopathy. It has been established that early administration of fresh frozen plasma decreases mortality following severe injury, replacing lost coagulation factors, improving the coagulopathy and restoring blood volume. This study will determine if giving plasma to severely injured trauma patients during ambulance transport versus after arrival to the hospital will help reduce hemorrhage, thus decreasing both total blood product administration and mortality.
The purpose of this study is to determine the cutoff point for IVC collapsibility index (by Bedside Ultrasonographic technique) for cases in hypovolemic hemorrhagic shock with CVP measures less than 8 cmH2o.
Indication: Resuscitation in pts with hemorrhagic shock due to multiple injuries Prospective, open label RCT in pts. with traumatic hemorrhagic shock in RS Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Indonesia. PI: Dr. Kiki Lukman, PsBD(K), Surgery, RSHS. Co-PI: (late)Prof. Xavier Leverve MD, PhD, Directeur, INSERM-E0221-Bioenergetique Fondamentale et Appliquée Université Joseph Fourier, France Hemorrhagic shock is a cause of death in trauma.Fluid resuscitation to ensure stable hemodynamics and microcirculation by rapidly restoring circulating plasma volume could be a cornerstone of managing trauma patients. Excessive fluid accumulation particularly in the interstitial tissue should be avoided. Hypertonic solution shows promise in restoring intravascular volume expansion and microcirculation with less fluid infusion in hypovolemic patients. This study investigated efficacy and safety of hyperosmolar Na lactate(Totilac®) for resuscitating traumatic hemorrhagic shock patients. Patients with multiple injuries with grade III hemorrhagic shock and RTS ≥4 received std initial fluid resuscitation of upto 2 liters of isotonic crystalloid. They also got similar dose of either hyperosmolar Na lactate or ringer's lactate. Hemodynamic status, fluid balance and and safety was recorded during the study.
Primary Aim: To determine the feasibility and safety of hypotensive resuscitation for the early treatment of patients with traumatic shock compared to standard fluid resuscitation. Primary Hypotheses: The null hypothesis regarding feasibility is that hypotensive resuscitation will result in the same volume of early crystalloid (normal saline) fluid administration compared to standard crystalloid resuscitation. The null hypothesis regarding safety is that hypotensive resuscitation will result in the same percent of patients surviving to 24 hours after 911 call received at dispatch compared to standard fluid resuscitation. Early resuscitation is defined as all fluid given until 2 hours after arrival in the Emergency Department or until hemorrhage control is achieved in the hospital, whichever occurs earlier.
Overall aim of this work is to evaluate new methods of resuscitation that can be applied by front-line responders on the battlefield, in civilian life, or which can be used during initial resuscitation in the first fixed facility to which the injured patient is brought.
Information on the management of casualties from the ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq has brought in to question the traditional approach to blood transfusion in hemorrhaging patients. Present recommendations for when to transfuse plasma products is when coagulation tests become abnormal. The proposed trial will investigate whether the more aggressive plasma transfusion strategies as advocated from researchers based on the Central Asian conflicts is valid. Since a study to determine the full impact of an altered plasma transfusion practice would require thousands of patients, a feasibility trial is appropriate and is being proposed. The hypotheses are thus: Primary Hypothesis- A multicentre trial that investigates the earlier use of plasma in patients with hemorrhagic shock going for emergency surgery will be feasible. Secondary Hypotheses- The early use of a universal donor blood plasma (AB+ plasma) in patients with shock due to blood loss (i.e. hemorrhagic) going for emergency surgery will reduce overall exposure to the total number of blood donor products (so-called allogeneic blood exposure). A reduction in allogeneic blood exposure would then reduce the total number of blood transfusion-related complications. The early use of this plasma product is safe and will not increase the incidence of blood clotting or other transfusion-related complications.
