NCT00316017

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if hypertonic saline with and without dextran can improve overall survival in victims of trauma with shock. Injury and lost blood from trauma can cause your body to be in shock (low blood pressure related to blood loss). This decreased blood flow can lead to organ damage. In order to restore the blood pressure and blood flow, the medics give fluids into the patients' veins as soon as possible. This is called "resuscitation." The resuscitation fluid most commonly used is "isotonic" or one that is the same concentration as the blood. The investigators are trying to determine if infusing a "hypertonic" fluid (or one more concentrated than the blood) can increase the blood pressure and restore blood flow more efficiently. The hypertonic fluids the investigators are using are called hypertonic saline with dextran (HSD) and hypertonic saline (no dextran). Hypertonic saline is a salt solution that is slightly more concentrated than your blood. Dextran is a sugar solution.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 28 Day Survival

    The day of episode is counted as "Day 0". So for measures using a 28 day period, the maximum value is 29 (i.e. days 0 through 28).

    28 days from time of Emergency Department (ED) arrival

Secondary Outcomes (21)

  • Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome(ARDS)-Free Survival Through Day 28

    28 days from time of ED arrival

  • Worst Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score (MODS) Mean Through Day 28

    28 days from time of ED arrival

  • Presence of Nosocomial Infection Through Day 28

    Within 28 days of injury, while hospitalized

  • Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBC) First 24 Hours

    First 24 hours from the time of 911 call

  • Total Fluids First 24 Hours

    First 24 hours from the time of of 911 call

  • +16 more secondary outcomes

Limitations and Caveats

The trial was stopped early for futility in the presence of a potential safety concern regarding increased mortality among patients receiving hypertonic solutions and no blood transfusions. This was no longer evident 6 hr after hospital admission.
