Brief summary

The Plasma Resuscitation Early for Evaluating Volume and Endotheliopathy of Thermal Injury (PREEVEnT) trial will be a 5-year (3-year enrollment), open label, phase-3, multi-center, early in-hospital phase randomized trial utilizing burn centers from within the LITES network and will enroll approximately 750 injured adult patients who have suffered large 2nd or 3rd degree thermal burns on at least 20% of their body surface requiring burn resuscitation. The objective is to determine if initiating plasma resuscitation as soon as possible upon arrival to an emergency department or burn unit is the most effective resuscitation for those who have experienced large thermal burns and significantly reduces the morbidity and mortality attributable to post-injury complications as compared to standard in-hospital resuscitation practice.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
28-day Mortality or Persistent Organ Dysfunction28 daysComposite outcome consisting of 28-day all-cause mortality, or 28-day Persistent Organ Dysfunction (POD) requiring support defined as 1) any intravenous vasopressor requirement, or 2) any renal replace therapy, or 3) any ventilator support/mechanical ventilation, or 4) continued need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission at 28 days.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
14-day mortality or Persistent Organ Dysfunction14 daysComposite Outcome consisting of of 14-day all-cause mortality, or 14-day Persistent Organ Dysfunction requiring support (any intravenous vasopressor requirement, or any renal replace therapy, or any ventilator support, or continued need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission at 14 days)
Arterial or venous thromboembolism in first 7 days7 daysPulmonary embolism, venous thrombosis, or arterial thrombosis that occurs during the primary admission hospital stay during the first 7 days from randomization. Radiographic confirmation via CT imaging, ultrasound, duplex, transthoracic or trans-esophageal echo, or ventilation/perfusion scanning will be required. If an embolic event is unable to be verified radiographically, presumed or clinical suspicion of an embolic event will also be documented.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in first 7 days7 daysThe Berlin definition for mild ARDS (PaO2/FIO2, ≤ 300 mmHg + timing, imaging and origin criteria) will be utilized as a threshold value to determine the incidence of ARDS
Abdominal compartment syndromeEnrollment through hospital discharge or 28 daysIntra-abdominal hypertension requiring paralysis, and/or diagnostic peritoneal lavage, and/or decompressive laparotomy
In-hospital mortalityEnrollment through hospital discharge or 28 daysDeath prior to hospital discharge
24-hour and 48-hour resuscitationEnrollment through 24 hours and 48 hoursAll crystalloid, colloid (albumin) and plasma resuscitation, including the utilization of vitamin C
Acute kidney injuryBetween 24 and 72 hours from the time of randomizationAt least one instance of a serum creatinine ≥ 1.5
Nosocomial Infection28 daysCDC criteria for the diagnosis of hospital-acquired pneumonia and blood stream infection will be utilized
Ventilator-free days28 daysVentilator-free days will be determined by subtracting the number of ventilator days where mechanical ventilation was required utilizing an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy from 28 days. Patients undergoing operative interventions who remain on mechanical ventilation in the ICU will be considered to require ventilator support for that day.
ICU- free days28 daysICU-free days will be determined by subtracting the number of days where ICU admission was required from 28 days.
Allergic/transfusion reactionInitial 12 hours from randomizationAny transfusion complication during the initial 12 hours of enrollment will be documented. As the intervention is specific to the early phase of care setting and since transfusion complications are temporally related to the specific transfusion, transfusion-related complications will only be assessed during the initial 12 hours from randomization.
Persistent Organ Dysfunction (POD) DaysStarting at day of randomization and ending at day 28POD days will be determined based on the number of calendar days during which the patient was determined to be in POD (≥1 on total daily score), starting at day of randomization and ending at day 28.
