Emergency tourniquet for severe lower-body bleeding
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a special tourniquet for the belly area (AAJT-S) that may help control severe bleeding from lower-body injuries before or during hospital care. It aims to find out if this device can save lives when standard pressure methods cannot stop the bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older (or suspected to be).
- You must have a severe, possibly life-threatening injury to the lower body, such as heavy bleeding, very low blood pressure, or signs of shock.
- You must be thought to benefit from a special emergency treatment that helps control bleeding (either an abdominal tourniquet or a balloon placed in the main artery).
- You may also qualify if you are in traumatic cardiac arrest, meaning your heart stopped as a result of the injury.

This trial tests a special belt (AAJT-S) that is wrapped around the belly to stop severe bleeding from the lower body (like from a bad car crash or fall). It's for people who are bleeding so much that their body is not getting enough blood, and it aims to buy time until surgery.
This trial studies a special belt placed tightly around the abdomen during CPR for cardiac arrest that is not caused by injury. It aims to see if this belt helps blood flow to the heart and brain, potentially improving chances of survival.
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 a temporary abdominal tourniquet to stop heavy bleeding after childbirth when standard treatments aren't working. It might help women with severe blood loss avoid more invasive procedures.
This trial tests different tourniquet models used in emergencies to stop blood flow in arms and legs. It may help find the best way to control bleeding before reaching a hospital.
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.
