Official Title: Muscle Trauma, ATP Depletion, and Glucose-Insulin-Potassium Therapy (The MAGIK Trial): A Randomized, Controlled Feasibility Study of GIK Therapy to Decrease Skeletal Muscle Injury in Trauma Patients W
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this phase 2 randomized control trial will be to evaluate the effect of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) therapy in the setting of lower extremity trauma to reduce short- and long-term muscle damage, acute rhabdomyolysis, and acute kidney injury.The study will consist of 40 patients with femur or tibial shaft fractures randomized to the GIK arm (using a well-described systemic GIK protocol; n = 20) or the control arm (using isotonic saline; n = 20).The use of systemic GIK is expected to decrease the…
