Background: Trace elements deficiencies in trauma patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) affects the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in ICU, and patients' mortality rate. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Trace elements on therapeutic and healthcare outcomes of ventilated trauma patients admitted to ICUs in 2019.
Methods: In this clinical trial, 60 trauma patients admitted to the ICUs in Golestan hospital in Ahwaz City, Iran, were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups according to the inclusion criteria. The intervention group received Addamel injections for 5 days, whereas the control group received only the routine care. Patients’ levels of consciousness and ability to move were assessed in both groups when entering the ward and then one, three and five days after the study began. In addition, the durations of weaning from mechanical ventilation and mortality in patients were calculated in a 28-day interval.
Result: There was a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of length of stay in ICU (P = 0.007) and duration of connection to ventilator (P = 0.010). Nevertheless, there was no statistically significant difference between the mean motor ability (P = 0.512) and the level of consciousness (P = 0.512) between the intervention and control groups.
Conclusion: According to the findings of our study, the medical staff are recommended to pay particular attention to the importance of trace elements in their therapeutic strategies for trauma patients.
