Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to compare the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, protein content, and white blood cell (WBC) count present in the peritoneal fluid and plasma of trauma patients who undergo one of two different methods of open abdominal closure. Following analysis of the peritoneal fluid and serum samples, comparison of the results between the two groups will be completed and correlated with the overall organ function.
