Plasma Resuscitation Early for Evaluating Volume and Endotheliopathy of Thermal Injury (PREEVEnT) Trial

14-day mortality or Persistent Organ Dysfunction

Composite Outcome consisting of of 14-day all-cause mortality, or 14-day Persistent Organ Dysfunction requiring support (any intravenous vasopressor requirement, or any renal replace therapy, or any ventilator support, or continued need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission at 14 days)

Time frame: 14 days

Arterial or venous thromboembolism in first 7 days

Pulmonary embolism, venous thrombosis, or arterial thrombosis that occurs during the primary admission hospital stay during the first 7 days from randomization. Radiographic confirmation via CT imaging, ultrasound, duplex, transthoracic or trans-esophageal echo, or ventilation/perfusion scanning will be required. If an embolic event is unable to be verified radiographically, presumed or clinical suspicion of an embolic event will also be documented.

Time frame: 7 days

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in first 7 days

The Berlin definition for mild ARDS (PaO2/FIO2, ≤ 300 mmHg + timing, imaging and origin criteria) will be utilized as a threshold value to determine the incidence of ARDS

Time frame: 7 days

Abdominal compartment syndrome

Intra-abdominal hypertension requiring paralysis, and/or diagnostic peritoneal lavage, and/or decompressive laparotomy

Time frame: Enrollment through hospital discharge or 28 days

In-hospital mortality

Death prior to hospital discharge

Time frame: Enrollment through hospital discharge or 28 days

24-hour and 48-hour resuscitation

All crystalloid, colloid (albumin) and plasma resuscitation, including the utilization of vitamin C

Time frame: Enrollment through 24 hours and 48 hours

Acute kidney injury

At least one instance of a serum creatinine ≥ 1.5

Time frame: Between 24 and 72 hours from the time of randomization

Nosocomial Infection

CDC criteria for the diagnosis of hospital-acquired pneumonia and blood stream infection will be utilized

Time frame: 28 days

Ventilator-free days

Ventilator-free days will be determined by subtracting the number of ventilator days where mechanical ventilation was required utilizing an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy from 28 days. Patients undergoing operative interventions who remain on mechanical ventilation in the ICU will be considered to require ventilator support for that day.

Time frame: 28 days

ICU- free days

ICU-free days will be determined by subtracting the number of days where ICU admission was required from 28 days.

Time frame: 28 days

Allergic/transfusion reaction

Any transfusion complication during the initial 12 hours of enrollment will be documented. As the intervention is specific to the early phase of care setting and since transfusion complications are temporally related to the specific transfusion, transfusion-related complications will only be assessed during the initial 12 hours from randomization.

Time frame: Initial 12 hours from randomization

Persistent Organ Dysfunction (POD) Days

POD days will be determined based on the number of calendar days during which the patient was determined to be in POD (≥1 on total daily score), starting at day of randomization and ending at day 28.

Time frame: Starting at day of randomization and ending at day 28
