Lactate test in serious injury patients
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at a simple blood test (lactate level) taken at the scene of a serious injury to help predict how well patients will recover. It is for adults hurt in a road accident or a fall from height who need emergency medical transport.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- Your injury was caused by a road accident or a fall from more than 2 metres (about 6.5 feet).
- An emergency medical team (SMUR) was sent to help you before you got to the hospital.
- You were taken to a hospital in the Alpes Maritimes region for emergency care.
- When the emergency team arrived, you had a heartbeat and were breathing (not in cardiac arrest).
- You or a family member can give permission to take part, even if it has to be done later.

This study tests whether a medicine called sodium lactate can help people with severe traumatic brain injury. It is for adults who have a very serious head injury and are in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at how much the large vein near the heart collapses and how that relates to lactate levels in the blood in people with serious injuries from accidents. It may help doctors better understand how to manage trauma patients.
This trial tests if a quick lactate test (a blood test that measures a chemical linked to serious illness) can help doctors sort patients more accurately in the emergency department. It is for adults who are triaged as 'yellow' (urgent) and can give consent.
This trial studies whether giving a specific IV fluid (hypertonic lactate) soon after resuscitation from cardiac arrest can improve recovery. It is for adults who remain in a deep unresponsive state after return of spontaneous circulation.
This study looks for a protein fragment in the blood that might help doctors quickly tell if someone has a serious spinal cord or brain injury. It involves people with recent injuries and healthy volunteers, and the goal is to develop a simple blood test for emergency care.
This study measures how quickly a blood marker called lactate rises or falls in people with septic shock. It may help doctors understand which patterns are linked to recovery and guide better treatment decisions.
