Abstract

A comprehensive literature search was performed to identify existing published literature in addition to trials and research currently being undertaken. Databases searched included MEDLINE/PubMed; EMBASE and the Cochrane CENTRAL; ANZ Controlled Trials Registry; the Clinical Trials Database; the National Research Register; Current Controlled Trials and the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination database. The four studies selected for inclusion in comparative outcome measurement all detailed assessment of the background details of their patient populations, with no significant differences in demographics being reported. No significant differences were reported in physiological assessment techniques performed on the patient groups. These techniques included: American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, presence of major co-morbidity, Injury Severity Score (ISS) and Penetrating Abdominal Trauma Index (PATI) score.
