Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to establish a data repository that will be permissive of quality improvement studies/observations specific to patients with Traumatic cardiac arrest and evaluate impact of sequence of pre-hospital care in survival outcomes.

Study population

patients with traumatic cardiac arrest(TCA) have poor chances at survival despite rapid trauma activation responses. The traditional rescue sequence, focusing on airway, breathing, and circulation(ABC), has become standard of care for initial resuscitation for both trauma and non-trauma patients.

Interventions

  • OtherMedical/Phenotype Data Collection Procedures & Data to be Collected

    The MDMC Trauma Registry will be queried for demographic information, diagnosis codes, admission dates, traumatic injury characteristics, surgical procedures, comorbidities, inpatient outcomes, complications, consultations, discharge location, and mortality. Additional laboratory values will be abstracted from Epic through retrospective chart review.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedDate before it movedWhere the date was before it movedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2024 to primary completion in Nov 2026, 33 months.

Of 265 non-industry observational studies under Wounds and Injuries, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 60. This study's 33 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 312 studies reached it within 28 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 60.

Wounds and Injuries covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.

Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Nov 10, 2026: primary completion Feb 2027 → Nov 2026 and completion Feb 2028 → Nov 2026.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
