About this study

Capillary or venous lactate level evaluation in prehospital care could be simple and beneficial tool for optimising prehospital care in patients with severe trauma.

Read the detailed description

Evaluation of blood lactate level and its trend are important morbidity and mortality predictive factors. In prehospital care, lactate level is more sensitive marker and have better prognostic value in severe trauma than basic vital signs. Worse outcome is associated with levels between 2 - 4 mmol/l. Measurement of lactate level in venous or capillary blood is quick and simple method with minimal risks and with no special needs for medical staff training. In spite of good availability of this method in the Czech Republic the method feasibility has never been analysed in patients with severe trauma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Trauma, Multiple and Lactate Blood Increase, run by Masaryk Hospital Usti nad Labem.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Marcela Bilska, Dr. (+420723715208, marcela.bilska@kzcr.eu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of lactate level measurement (time frame: 1 day - the time the patient is treated by Emergency Medical System). 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 NCT03115970, which also lists 4 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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Apr 2017.
