NCT ID NCT06469970
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how glucose spreads in the body of adults with severe burns (covering at least 30% of their skin). Researchers will measure glucose levels after a small injection over the first four days. The goal is to see if this measurement can help guide fluid treatment in the intensive care unit.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better manage fluids and prevent complications in severe burn patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase observational study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures a marker, not a treatment outcome.
