About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Lung Ultrasound in Monitoring Fluid Resuscitation in Trauma Patients

Efficacy of Lung ultrasound in monitoring fluid resuscitation in chest trauma patients with lung contusions

Read the detailed description

Trauma is a public health problem, associated to high morbidity and mortality, In Egypt the mortality from road traffic crashes is about 12000 victims per year.

  • Chest trauma represents from 10% to 15% of the total number of traumas worldwide.

According to ATLS protocol , early diagnosis and management of Chest trauma are essential. *Pulmonary contusion is found in 30-75% of cases of chest injury.

  • point of care Ultrasound (POCUS) is Now a corner stone in Emergency management it can predict lung contusions within the first 72 hours after trauma.
  • Recently, LUS Play a major role in assessment of the volume status in Trauma patients.
  • B-lines score (BLS) has been validated as a lung ultrasound quantification of pulmonary congestion.The sum of all B-lines yields a score, B-lines score (BLS), which assess the degree of lung contusion. So that LUS may provide a valuable safety threshold to conduct fluid therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with lung contusion

    Pulmonary edema will be detected by B_lines trauma patients with lung contusions

    Measured: Upto 24 hours after trauma

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical correlation between Type & volume of Fluid & occurance of pulmonary edema. Correlation between severity of pulmonary lung contusion & The final disposition of the patients whatever (OR _another department _death….. etc) upto 24hr.

    Follow up on degree of contusions after fluid resuscitation

    Measured: For first 24 hours after trauma

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with lung contusion (time frame: Upto 24 hours after trauma). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05054270, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
