Active clinical trials for "Shock, Traumatic"

The effect of early, prehospital norepinephrine use in patients with traumatic shock on mortality is unknown. Recent existing observational evidence from single system data (US, France, Japan) are conflicting. The investigators hypothesize that prehospital norepinephrine is associated with decreased mortality when used in patients with traumatic shock.

We evaluated a cohort of adult trauma patients transported to emergency departments. The first vital signs were used to calculate the SI, MSI, and rSIG. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs) and test results were used to compare the discriminant performance of the indices on short-term mortality and poor functional outcome. A subgroup analysis of geriatric patients, traumatic brain injury, penetrating injury, and non-penetrating injury was performed.
