Delayed fluids for severe injuries with low blood pressure
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether giving fluids later (instead of right away) helps people with severe injuries and low blood pressure from major trauma. It compares delaying fluids to the usual approach, which may improve how you recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a major injury (a very serious injury that affects your body).
- Your blood pressure must be low (systolic below 90).
- You must be 16 years old or older.
- You must not have received medical care yet for this injury.
- You cannot have a brain injury, be pregnant, have burns, or have drowned.

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 trial studies whether giving a specific type of IV fluid (a salt-water fluid in the vein) after a type of brain bleed can improve neurological recovery. It focuses on adults with a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (a bleeding in the space around the brain) given soon after diagnosis.
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 compares two types of intravenous fluids (saline vs. balanced crystalloids) given to people with traumatic brain injury when they arrive in the emergency room. The goal is to find out which fluid leads to better outcomes.
This study is testing two different ways of giving intravenous fluids to patients with sepsis (a severe infection) who have low blood pressure. It aims to find out whether giving more or less fluid is better for recovery.
This trial compares drinking fluids by mouth to getting them through an IV for adults in the emergency department who need fluids. It aims to see if oral fluids work just as well, avoiding the need for an IV.
