Predicting lung injury after traumatic brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test measuring fibrinogen and albumin levels can help predict if someone with a traumatic brain injury will develop a serious lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors identify patients who need extra monitoring and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been admitted to the ICU with a traumatic brain injury.
- You arrived at the ICU within 24 hours of your injury.
- You will likely stay in the hospital for follow-up care.
- Your blood levels of fibrinogen and albumin are measured within the first day of ICU stay.

This study is testing whether simple blood tests can predict a dangerous lung condition called ARDS in children with severe burns. Researchers will check the child's white blood cell and platelet counts to look for early warning signs that could help doctors treat them faster.
This study is testing whether certain proteins in the blood (sRAGE, CC16, and Syndecan-1) can help predict if patients with severe chest trauma will develop a serious lung condition called ARDS or have a higher risk of death. By measuring these proteins early, doctors might be able to identify high-risk patients sooner and provide more targeted care.
This study looks for early markers in the blood that can predict a serious lung reaction called TRALI after a blood transfusion in ICU patients. It compares blood samples from different groups to find these markers, which could help prevent future reactions.
This study is looking for people with a recent traumatic brain injury (within 24 hours) to see if testing certain proteins in the blood can help doctors better diagnose and treat the injury.
This study looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
This study is testing a new blood-based test to help doctors diagnose traumatic brain injury (TBI) and track recovery or complications. If you have had a head injury and a CT scan as part of your care, you may be able to join.
