Clinical Trial Summary

Hemorrhagic shock is a pathologic state in which intravascular volume and oxygen delivery are impaired. During circulatory failure associated with hypovolemia and low cardiac output, redistribution of blood flow caused by increased vasoconstriction results in decreased perfusion of the skin.

Skin temperature and capillary refill time has been advocated as a measure of peripheral perfusion.


Clinical Trial Description

Perfusion index (PI) is a non-invasive numerical value of peripheral perfusion obtained from pulse oximetry, it is an indicator of the pulse strength at the sensor site. The PI's values range from 0.2% for very weak pulse to 20% for extremely strong pulse according to patient's physiological conditions and monitoring sites.

Large increases in lactate (i.e. > 5 mmol/L) usually only occur due to hypoperfusion or muscle activity such as exercise or seizures.

This study will investigate the role of nitroglycerine patch in improving the peripheral perfusion in poly traumatized patient with hemorrhagic shock for the first time. ;
