Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Burns
Trauma
Interventions
Other: micro-imaging
Registration Number
NCT01922960
Lead Sponsor
University of South Alabama
Brief Summary

Predict the development of multiple organ failure in patients with trauma and severe burns.

Detailed Description

Microvascular alterations are frequently seen in patients with sepsis, trauma, burns and those who are hemodynamically uncompensated(Shock).

The use of the Microscan is a non-invasive approach to visualize and assess impaired mucosal microcirculation in order to identify early on patients who are predisposed for MOF (multiple organ failure)
