Emergency medicine and acute resuscitation

The clinical research activity is centered on haemorrhagic shock in the emergency room, with interest in rapid volume replacement and early haemodynamic support.

  • Haemorrhagic shock
  • Emergency department care
  • Hemodynamic stabilization

The focus is on interventions used during immediate trauma resuscitation and the restoration of circulatory function in critically unstable patients.

Blood product therapy and plasma replacement

Research interest includes the early use of lyophilized plasma as an alternative to conventional crystalloid infusion in patients with acute blood loss.

  • Lyophilized plasma
  • Plasma-based resuscitation
  • Volume replacement therapy

This area reflects a therapeutic emphasis on restoring circulating volume through blood-derived products in urgent care settings.

Endothelial protection and circulatory support

The funded research also addresses the role of plasma therapy in supporting the endothelium and maintaining vascular integrity during shock states.

  • Endothelial function
  • Vascular integrity
  • Fluid balance

Interest extends to reducing dependence on large volumes of crystalloid fluids in order to limit volume overload in acute care.

Lactate normalization and metabolic recovery

Clinical outcomes in the supported trial include recovery markers linked to perfusion, with particular attention to lactate levels as an indicator of improved tissue oxygenation.

  • Lactate clearance
  • Tissue perfusion
  • Metabolic stabilization

This reflects a therapeutic interest in monitoring early physiologic response after resuscitative treatment in severe bleeding emergencies.
