Field Trial of Hypotensive Versus Standard Resuscitation for Hemorrhagic Shock After Trauma

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Blunt Trauma, Penetrating Wound, Hemorrhagic Shock

In brief

Primary Aim: To determine the feasibility and safety of hypotensive resuscitation for the early treatment of patients with traumatic shock compared to standard fluid resuscitation. Primary Hypotheses: The null hypothesis regarding feasibility is that hypotensive resuscitation will result in the same volume of early crystalloid (normal saline) fluid administration compared to standard crystalloid resuscitation. The null hypothesis regarding safety is that hypotensive resuscitation will result in the same percent of patients surviving to 24 hours after 911 call received at dispatch compared to standard fluid resuscitation. Early resuscitation is defined as all fluid given until 2 hours after arrival in the Emergency Department or until hemorrhage control is achieved in the hospital, whichever occurs earlier.
