The Prehospital Resuscitation On Helicopter Study (PROHS) is a pragmatic, multicenter, prospective observational study of air ambulance-based prehospital resuscitation regimens currently utilized at the participating sites. Patients will be enrolled at participating sites that currently have blood products available on air ambulances and other sites that do not. This study will not change the current prehospital standard of care for resuscitation. The primary outcome will be in-hospital mortality and the primary unit of analysis will be the patient. Other outcomes of interest will include time to hemostasis, hospital length-of-stay, number of ventilator-free and ICU-free days, incidence of major surgical procedures, complications (transfusion-related acute lung injury \[TRALI\], acute kidney injury \[AKI\], multiple organ failure \[MOF\], acute respiratory distress syndrome \[ARDS\], sepsis, intra-abdominal complications, thromboembolic complications, compartment syndromes), lifesaving interventions, the amount and type of blood products and concentrates transfused (including prehospital), wastage of prehospital blood products and concentrates, use of external and internal hemostatic devices, and functional status at discharge/discharge destination.
NCT00003139
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs such as pilocarpine may protect normal cells from the side effects of radiation therapy. It is not yet known if pilocarpine may be effective in preventing mucositis and dry mouth in patients receiving radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized, double-blinded, phase III trial to study the effectiveness of pilocarpine in preventing mucositis and dry mouth in patients receiving radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.
