A study of emergency care involving victims of severe brain trauma is to be performed in this area
The University of Cincinnati is conducting a research study to learn if either of two strategies for monitoring and treating patients with severe traumatic brain injury in the intensive care unit (ICU) is more likely to help them get better. Because head injury is a life threatening condition requiring immediate treatment, some patients will be enrolled without consent if a family member or representative is not rapidly available. Before the study starts, we will consult with the community. We welcome your feedback and questions. For more information or to decline participation in this study, please visit boost3trial.org or contact our study staff at (513) 558-2678.
Primary Investigator: Dr. Natalie Kreitzer MD, Study Coordinator: Pamela Schmit RN BSN
