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.
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.
It is very important to choose the best central venous catheterization route for trauma patients, the determinants that need to be considered comprehensively include coagulation dysfunction, fracture of the clavicle on the side of the puncture, and tracheotomy care. More importantly, whether it can used simultaneously for accurate volume and invasive hemodynamic monitoring. For the purpose of support of cardiopulmonary function, the ideal position of the catheter tip is vital with regard to an accurate CVP and hemodynamic monitoring. Cannulation of the axillary vein is ideal for patients with severe poly-trauma because it avoids the thoracic cavity, intercostal arteries, tracheostomy, and clavicle, and is prone to compression even if the artery is injured. At present, there is no systematic introduction of ultrasound-guided axillary vein catheterization in the trauma ICU in the literature. Since Oct 2021, the investigators have attempted to practice axillary vein catheterization for this crucial trauma population; unfortunately, the investigators have not know till now whether this procedure is associated with accurate tip placement and its safety should also be weighted. So it is necessary to summarize the relevant clinical data.
The goal of this prospective study with the aim to establish a registry is to learn about the role of steroid hormones in severely injured patients. The main question it aims to answer is whether steroid hormones influence morbidity and mortality after severe trauma. This is a prospective study with the aim to establish a large registry for severely injured patients and their hormonal status. Hormone levels will be measured upon arrival in the emergency room and within the following few days after trauma. Furthermore a detailed questionnaire aims to answer any hormone-related health questions.
This study relies on the use of a smartphone application (SOMA) that the investigators developed for tracking daily mood, pain, and activity status in acute pain, chronic pain, and healthy controls over four months.The primary goal of the study is to use fluctuations in daily self-reported symptoms to identify computational predictors of acute-chronic pain transition, pain recovery, and/or chronic pain maintenance or flareups. The general study will include anyone with current acute or chronic pain, while a smaller sub-study will use a subset of patients from the chronic pain group who have been diagnosed with chronic low back pain, failed back surgery syndrome, or fibromyalgia. These sub-study participants will first take part in one in-person EEG testing session while completing simple interoception and reinforcement learning tasks and then begin daily use of the SOMA app. Electrophysiologic and behavioral data from the EEG testing session will be used to determine predictors of treatment response in the sub-study.
This study aims to evaluate among trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock the clinical impact of hemostatic resuscitation between whole blood vs. blood components therapy in the following outcomes in a hierarchical analysis: mortality at 28 days and evolution of organ dysfunction.
Sepsis, cardiac arrest and multiple trauma are potentially life-threatening conditions and common reasons for intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of the signaling substance serotonin in blood in these conditions.
The use of the conditioning open-label placebo (COLP) paradigm will be studied as a dose extension method to lower opioid dosage in patients with spinal cord injury, polytrauma, and burn injury. The goal is to provide the same level of pain relief with a reduced opioid intake to diminish side effects as well as the risk of addiction associated with opioid treatment.
