ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Caval Aorta Index for Fluid Optimization in Traumatic Brain Injury," aims to improve the care of patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). TBIs can lead to serious health issues, and it’s crucial to manage them effectively to prevent further harm. The researchers are looking at a specific method to help balance fluid in the body, which is important for ensuring the brain gets enough blood and oxygen.

To participate in this trial, candidates must be between the ages of 18 and 60 and have a confirmed diagnosis of TBI through a brain scan. They should be admitted to the hospital within 24 hours of their injury and have a certain level of alertness as measured by a standard scoring system. However, some individuals may not be eligible, such as those with certain other health conditions or those who require other surgeries soon after their injury. If eligible, participants can expect to be closely monitored and receive specific treatments aimed at improving their recovery. This trial is currently not yet recruiting participants, but it represents an important step in enhancing care for those affected by traumatic brain injuries.
