Testing delayed fluid treatment for severe injury shock
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving fluids more slowly (rather than quickly) to people with severe injuries and very low blood pressure helps them recover better. The study focuses on trauma patients who arrive at the hospital needing emergency care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a major injury (such as from a car accident, fall, or trauma) with an injury severity score above 15
- Your systolic blood pressure is below 90 mmHg (dangerously low) when you arrive at the hospital
- You are 16 years old or older
- You have not received hospital care before this emergency
- You do not have a brain injury, serious burn, drowning, or pregnancy

This trial studies whether giving children less fluid through a vein after serious injury helps them recover safely. Children are enrolled soon after arrival to the ICU so the team can compare outcomes between different fluid amounts.
This study tests a method called tissue perfusion pressure to see if it can accurately predict whether a patient in shock will benefit from getting more fluids. It aims to help doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment in the ICU.
This early-phase study tests whether giving a very small fluid dose can quickly show who will benefit from fluids in the emergency department. It focuses on people with signs of low blood pressure and poor circulation.
This study tests two different approaches to managing fluids given to brain injury patients in the ICU—one more restrictive and one more liberal—to see which is safer and more effective. The goal is to find the best balance that protects the brain while supporting overall health.
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.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much fluid shocked trauma patients need. It could help doctors give the right amount of fluids in the emergency room and ICU.
