U.S., May 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06969404) titled 'Prognostic Value of Capillary Lactatemia in Potentially Severe Polytrauma Patients' on May 02.
Brief Summary: Nowadays, the tools available to assess the severity of a polytrauma patient in the pre-hospital setting (vital parameters, shock index, MGAP score, Vittel criteria) have their limitations and are sometimes subjective. To date, there are no objective, practical and reproducible tools for triaging these patients. Venous lactataemia also appears to be predictive of poor outcome in severe trauma. However, there are no studies in the literature on capillary lactataemia, which would indicate the potential severity of a polytrauma ...
