Official Title: Early Aggressive Correction of Severe Acidosis With Tris-hydroxymethylaminomethane (THAM) in Patients With Severe Traumatic Injury: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Brief Summary: This study involved the medical record review of resuscitation records for all severely-injured trauma patients requiring emergent surgical intervention and significant acidosis from 2005 through 2009.

Detailed Summary: The study objective is to assess the efficacy of fluid resuscitation and treatment of acidosis in patients who were managed with use of amine buffer THAM (tris-hydroxymethlaminomethane) versus those who were resuscitated with crystalloids or colloids and may have have received sodium bicarbonate for the treatment of acidosis.
