Restrictive vs. Liberal Oxygen in Trauma (TRAUMOX2)

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-06-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Victims of trauma are often healthy individuals prior to the incident, but acquire numerous complications including sepsis and pulmonary complications and diminished quality of life after trauma. According to Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines, all severely injured trauma patients should receive supplemental oxygen.

The objective of TRAUMOX2 is to compare the effect of a restrictive versus liberal oxygen strategy the first eight hours following trauma on the incidence of 30-day mortality and/or major respiratory complications (pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome) within 30 days (combined primary endpoint).
