HEMS care for bleeding trauma with low blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies how emergency helicopter (HEMS) teams manage trauma patients who have signs of shock from blood loss, especially when bleeding is suspected or ongoing. It may help teams choose the best pre-hospital approach to stabilize you sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- A trained witness saw the injury, and HEMS was called to care for you
- At first evaluation, your top blood pressure (systolic) was below 90
- The team suspected or could see ongoing serious bleeding
- You were not in cardiac arrest when HEMS arrived without ongoing resuscitation

This Phase 3 study tests whether starting a blood-pressure medicine earlier in the emergency room can improve outcomes for people with low blood pressure or shock. It focuses on patients who have already received enough IV fluids and meet specific blood pressure and lab findings.
This study tests whether giving low-titer type O whole blood (or related blood products) works better for treating serious bleeding after a traumatic injury. It’s for adults who start blood transfusions right away under a massive bleeding plan.
This trial compares giving whole blood versus standard care in adults with severe trauma and dangerous blood loss (hemorrhagic shock). The goal is to see if whole blood helps stabilize patients faster and improves outcomes after major bleeding.
This trial tests a standard set of emergency blood transfusions for people with life-threatening bleeding from a serious injury. It aims to improve survival by giving blood products quickly before reaching the hospital.
This trial tests how bleeding from broken leg, arm, or pelvic bones affects patients and looks for better ways to manage shock. It is designed for adults arriving at the hospital within 24 hours of their injury.
This trial tests whether giving calcium and vasopressin early can improve outcomes in people with major injury who are at risk for life-threatening bleeding shock. It mainly includes patients who need rapid blood transfusion and likely major surgery to stop bleeding.
