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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests giving a simple salt solution (sodium lactate) to people with severe traumatic brain injury. The goal is to see if it can reduce swelling and improve recovery.
This study uses an ultrasound of the large vein in your belly (the vena cava) and a blood test for lactate to check how much fluid you need after a severe injury. It helps doctors quickly see if you are dehydrated so they can treat you better.
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 tiny fragments in your blood that might show whether you have a brain or spinal cord injury. The goal is to help doctors diagnose these injuries faster and more accurately in the future.
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.
