Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

Gastric ultrasound has become increasingly utilized to examine volume and quality of gastric contents in the preoperative setting to guide anesthetic management and relay risk of aspiration in both adult and pediatric medicine. Gastric fluid volumes in trauma patients are thought to be elevated due to delayed gastric emptying in the setting of an over-attenuated sympathetic response to physical pain and stress, opioid analgesia, and other associated injuries (traumatic brain). However, there is a paucity of literature examining gastric fluid volumes (GFV), measured by gastric ultrasound, in the pediatric trauma population. The purpose of the study is to assess whether preoperative gastric ultrasound is an accurate method to identify pediatric trauma patients who have elevated GFV (>0.8mL/kg) and high-risk gastric contents (solids, complex liquids, in addition to large volumes).

The purpose of this observational study is to quantify physical activity patterns in patients with severe acquired brain injury admitted for in-hospital rehabilitation.

This multicenter prospective observational study is designed to prospectively record data on patients who are managed per institutional standard of care. The objectives of this study are to establish an aggregate database of information on baseline clinical and demographic characteristics, medication use, markers of frailty, injury characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes following TBI in geriatric patients, determine best practices for management of geriatric patients with TBI, and establish how markers of frailty correlate with outcome in geriatric patients with TBI.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been traditionally defined as an abrupt loss of kidney function leading to a rapid decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), accumulation of waste products such as blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine, and dysregulation of extracellular volume and electrolyte homeostasis . Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a very common condition, especially among hospitalized patients. this work aims to study the demographics, etiology, clinical characteristics, and outcome of acute kidney injury in children in Sohag University Hospital - Pediatrics Department.

Critically Ill children may develop acute gastrointestinal injury secondary to severe inflammation.

The study design is an observational, longitudinal study with data collected online via a computer-assisted survey. Subjects will be recruited through non-probability snowball sampling. Objectives: to document the prevalence of injuries and medical complications arising from kink activities to document how healthcare is utilized by kink-involved people to document the health outcomes particular to a large sample of kink-involved people to test whether the centrality of kink identity and degree of community belongingness affect injuries, health outcomes, and healthcare utilization

The WIRES-T project (Web-based International Registry of Emergency General Surgery and Trauma) has been set up to allow to all the EGS (Emergency General Surgery) and Trauma surgeons to register their activity and to obtain a worldwide register of traumatic and non traumatic surgical emergencies. This will give the opportunity to evaluate results on a macro-data basis and to give index allowing stratifying, evaluating and improving the outcomes.

The goal of this study is to analyse the relation of severe acute kidney injury post cardiac surgery which characterised by the need of renal replacement therapy, with in-hospital postoperative mortality incidence. The main question it aims to answer: To compare between patients complicated with acute kidney injury and exposure of renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT) and patients complicated with acute kidney injury which does not require renal replacement therapy, in associated with in-hospital postoperative mortality.

Patients with long-term lower urinary tract dysfunction due to spinal cord injury presenting for a routine urodynamic control will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Suitable individuals providing written informed consent will undergo renal Doppler sonography and renal scintigraphy in addition to the routine examinations. Conclusions regarding renal function based on the clearance rate determined by scintigraphy (gold standard) will be compared with the conclusions based on Doppler sonography and Cystatin C clearance.

The purpose of this study is to test whether measures of balance and agility can help predict if a Service Member may be at risk for an injury to their legs before beginning their school and training.
