Active clinical trials for "Contusions"

The goal of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) as a bedside diagnostic tool for lung pathologies in patients who are mechanically ventilated. In electrical impedance tomography low amplitude, low frequency current is applied on electrodes, and the resulting voltage is measured and used to computed the electrical properties of the interior of the chest as they change in time. The computed properties are used to form an image, which can then be used for monitoring and diagnosis.

The primary goal of this study is to provide clinicians with a brief, patient self-administer instrument yielding a single composite score that reliably correlates with objective findings on standardized neurocognitive assessment for concussion.

Pulmonary contusion caused by severe thoracic trauma is a complex disease. Some patients may be secondary to severe complications such as pulmonary infection or even acute respiratory distress syndrome. At present, there have been no reports on related studies based on Chinese population. In this study, 800 patients with pulmonary contusion will be retrospectively investigated to determine the risk factors and independent risk factors of their poor prognosis, and to construct a prognosis prediction model and scoring criteria.

Efficacy of Lung ultrasound in monitoring fluid resuscitation in chest trauma patients with lung contusions

Subjects will have a mechanically induced bruise photographed over a period of 11 days to record the healing process. Assessors will rate the bruises to develop a bruising scale.

Microbiome studies may be highlighted as crucial in the development of sleep disorder for TBI patients. The microbiota-gut-brain connection may further provide an opportunity for microbiota manipulation to treat the TBI patients with sleep disorders.This study is to investigate whether exist the relationship between sleep disorder and circadian rhythm of patients with TBI or not and focus the study on the potential of the host-microbiota interaction in regulating sleep disorder.
