Abstract

One of the chief goals of the Trauma Center is to implement human studies which will establish alink between human reperfusion injury and rodent reperfusion injury. This Clinical Core willimplement a number of human studies designed to assess intestinal perfusion in human injury and disease. To do this, a supportive infrastructure will be created that includes the Director of the Surgical Intensive Care Units, a Study Nurse to recruit, consent, and gather clinical data on the patients. In addition there will be in place a data entry technician who will also be responsible for cryopreservation and archiving of all human samples.
