Study on vein collapsibility and blood lactate in trauma patients
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses bedside ultrasound to check how much your leg and neck veins collapse when you have low blood volume from severe injuries. The goal is to see if this helps doctors decide how much fluid to give during resuscitation.
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.
This study looks at how your body’s inflammation and “stress response” changes after major injury or certain surgeries. Doctors may use the results to better understand who is at risk for complications and how to respond sooner.
This trial uses special ultrasound (Doppler) to look at blood flow in the kidneys and liver after a serious injury. It aims to find patterns that could help doctors better understand and treat trauma patients.
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 follows adults who have been diagnosed with a blood vessel injury after trauma. It aims to better understand these injuries and how they are identified and managed soon after coming to a specific hospital.
