Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of a video game on the implementation of clinical practice guidelines in trauma triage. The main question it attempts to answer is whether exposure to the game improves compliance with guidelines by emergency medicine physicians working at non-trauma centers in the US. Participants randomized to the intervention condition will be asked to play a customized, theory-based video game for 2 hours immediately after enrollment, and then return to the game for 20 minutes every three months for the next 9 months. Participants in the control condition will receive usual care.
There is no educational injury prevention model uniquely suited for kindergarten and first grade (K-1) students. The Teddy Bear Injury Clinic (TBIC) is a unique modification of the teddy bear clinic to facilitate classroom injury prevention teaching The TBIC will be administered to K-1 students, aged 5-7 years. Initial analysis will be descriptive and qualitative. Subsequent randomization of students to test and control groups followed by statistical analysis will be done to evaluate for effectiveness of the educational model
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a procedure that has the goal to stabilize trauma patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage by temporarily occluding the aorta with a ballon catheter to increase central perfusion and stop uncontrollable bleeding from the diaphragm downwards. The investigators are planning to evaluate all patients who had a REBOA catheter placed at their clinic or in the pre-clinical setting from the start of 2019 to the 31.12.2022 who were transferred to their clinic, with basic demographic and clinical data, the procedural specifics, and their potential complications.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a massive open online course (MOOC) for training lay first responders in sub-Saharan Africa. The research team will assess educational outcomes of first responder training implemented at program locations in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Kenya, through previously validated pre- and post-course survey instruments, standardized patient assessments, and incident reporting. The research team will investigate efficacy of MOOC training amongst diverse populations with variable technology literacy and utilize data gathered to develop more efficient means of disseminating basic first aid training information.
Humacyte provided HAVs as humanitarian aid to Ukraine. This retrospective observational study is designed to collect data from patients in whom the HAVs have already been implanted on a humanitarian basis between June 2022 and May 2023.
Traumatic rib fractures (i.e., broken ribs caused by a physical injury) are common and very painful. They also often lead to serious complications, more time spent in hospital, and can even lead to death. Even after rib fractures have healed, they can lead to long-term pain and a lower quality of life. A technology called cryoneurolysis, which acts to freeze nerves causing pain using a small tool which can turn very cold, is a promising new way to manage rib fracture pain. This study is a test with a small number of people to see if it is feasible to use this technology for patients with rib fractures. If this is successful, we will recruit more people for a larger study to see if cryoneurolysis, along with standard pain control techniques, is better at stopping pain, compared to just the normal techniques alone. Participants in our study will be asked to rate their pain, and record pain medications that they take for 3 months after their pain procedure.
The goal of this study is to assess the MUST MINI system safety in patient who will undergo a posterior cervical spine fusion intervention. Patients will be invited to partecipate during preoperative visit and follow the postoperative visits according to the standard practice.
The purpose of this study is to identify the effect dronabinol has on opioid exposure when used as an adjunct to the current standard multi-modal pain regimen (MMPR)
External validation of the clinical pre-hospital "Red- Flag" alert for activation of intra-hospital hemorrhage control response in blunt trauma.
The purpose of this study is to determine if additional interventions will assist with decreasing the risk and/or severity of thromboembolism (clotting complications) in patients who have experienced a major traumatic event.
