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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how thick your blood is to see if it plays a role in ARDS, a severe lung injury that makes breathing very difficult. It may help doctors understand the condition better and improve future treatments.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test (called RDW/albumin ratio) can help predict the risk of death in patients with serious burn injuries. It aims to improve care and support for burn patients in the ICU.
This study checks if certain blood tests can predict which patients with severe chest injuries will develop serious breathing problems or die. Doctors will take blood samples soon after injury to see if these markers help identify high-risk patients early.
This study looks for proteins in the blood that might help doctors detect a rare lung injury caused by blood transfusions. It uses blood samples from ICU patients to compare those with and without lung problems.
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 looks at whether certain substances in the blood can help doctors better diagnose and treat people who have had a traumatic brain injury within the past 24 hours. If you have had a head injury and are between 18 and 65 years old, you might be able to join.
