About this study

Official title: Early Aggressive Correction of Severe Acidosis With Tris-hydroxymethylaminomethane (THAM) in Patients With Severe Traumatic Injury: A Retrospective Cohort Study

This study involved the medical record review of resuscitation records for all severely-injured trauma patients requiring emergent surgical intervention and significant acidosis from 2005 through 2009.

Read the detailed description

The study objective is to assess the efficacy of fluid resuscitation and treatment of acidosis in patients who were managed with use of amine buffer THAM (tris-hydroxymethlaminomethane) versus those who were resuscitated with crystalloids or colloids and may have have received sodium bicarbonate for the treatment of acidosis.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Total amount of fluids and blood products used during the operative and 72 hr post-operative period.

    Total amount of fluids and blood products used during the operative and 72 hr post-operative period.

    Measured: Operative period and ICU (72 hr) post-op period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Intra-operative, intensive care unit and hospital mortality

    Measure the the number of mortality during intra-operative and/or ICU period

    Measured: From the operative procedure onset to discharge out of the ICU or expiration
