NCT ID NCT05401487
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at 265 severely injured adults in France to see if getting them to the hospital within the recommended 60 minutes (the 'golden hour') improves their chances of survival. Researchers checked if following these time guidelines helped patients live at least 24 hours and 28 days after their accident. The goal was to understand how well current emergency care recommendations work.
