FLO-ELA

FLO-ELA is the FLuid Optimisation in Emergency LAparotomy trial. It is a large pragmatic clinical trial which aims to find out whether cardiac-output guided haemodynamic therapy given to patients during and shortly after emergency bowel surgery could save lives, when compared with usual care. The trial is being run in 100 UK hospitals and will study nearly 8000 patients.

In Wessex it is currently being run in Bournemouth and Southampton.

If you are working in either hospital and would be keen to help with patient recruitment, please get in touch.
