Reliability of Sensor Spacing for NIRS in Traumatic Tibia Fractures

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a study intended to evaluate a non-invasive device that uses light to measure the amount of oxygen in the muscles of injured and non-injured legs in specific situations. The name of this technology is NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy). The goal of this study is to collect the information necessary to understand the use of the NIRS monitoring system to diagnose and direct treatment decisions in case of complications sometimes experienced in traumatic tibia fracture, such as excessive swelling called acute compartment syndrome (ACS).

Clinical Trial Description

This study seeks to further develop the use of NIRS technology in the diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome. NIRS values normally increase in traumatized legs compared to the contralateral uninjured leg or forearm, indicative of a hyperemic response. The investigators hopes to build upon the current knowledge and verify the ability to accurately detect ACS using two easily identified and accessible leg compartments, the anterior and superficial posterior utilizing the Nonin 7600 oximeter with the Sensor Model 8004CV. Additionally, since this device was originally designed with brain tissue in mind, the NIRS device will collect vital engineering data that will be used to validate the algorithm used to produce the oxygenation values in injured muscle tissue. ;
