Blood markers predicting lung injury after severe chest trauma
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have a severe chest injury (either from a blunt or penetrating cause), and you're admitted to the trauma unit or ICU.
- You arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of the injury.
- You do not already have serious lung problems, such as chronic lung disease or an active infection.
- You do not have severe liver, kidney, or other major chronic conditions, and you're not pregnant.

This study looks for markers in the blood and signs of air trapped in the lung tissue of people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It uses CT scans to understand why air leaks happen and if certain lab tests can predict them.
This study looks at whether simple scores taken when you arrive at the emergency room can predict how well you will do after a chest injury. It may help doctors understand how serious your injury is and guide your care.
This study tests two different scoring systems (TTSS and TISS) to see which better predicts recovery in people with chest injuries like broken ribs, lung bruises, or collapsed lungs. Doctors use these scores soon after you arrive to guide treatment and predict how you'll do.
This study looks at a blood marker (EV-TF) to see whether it helps predict pulmonary embolism—blood clots in the lungs—in people with ARDS who are in the ICU. Results may help doctors better identify who is at higher risk.
This study is testing a new way to check how serious chest injuries from blunt force (like car crashes) are in the emergency room. It may help doctors quickly decide what care you need.
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.
