Computer vs. formula: can a smart system improve burn resuscitation?
NCT ID NCT07307599
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a computer program called Burn Navigator™ can better guide fluid replacement in adults with severe burns (covering at least 20% of the body) compared to the standard Parkland formula. The software uses real-time patient data to recommend hourly fluid amounts, aiming to prevent dangerous over- or under-hydration. Sixty-two participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods, and researchers will track fluid volumes and complications like fluid overload or organ failure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Burn Navigator™ decision-support software (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more precise way to guide fluid therapy in burn patients, reducing complications from too much or too little fluid.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial (62 people) and the device's benefit over standard care is not yet proven. Results may not apply to all burn centers or patient types.
