Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate both genotypic differences and differences in local gene expression in individuals who develop acute traumatic compartment syndrome relative to control patients with at-risk lower extremity fractures who do not develop compartment syndrome.
This is a study intended to validate a new set of guidelines for a device that uses light to measure the amount of oxygen in the muscles of injured and non-injured legs and forearms in specific situations.
This study is a prospective, randomized trial. Our study aims to study the effects of perioperative patient education about compartment syndrome on patients' perception of their own pain, amount of opioid medication utilization, and rate of diagnosis of compartment syndrome.
Early detection of intra-abdominal hypertension is essential to the prevention of abdominal compartment syndrome and requires close surveillance of intra-abdominal hypertension in patients at increased risk. intra-abdominal hypertension measurements are often taken by the bedside nurse, and in some cases, initiation of serial intra-abdominal hypertension monitoring is prompted by critical care nurses.
The purpose of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Registry (HBOTR) is to provide real world patient outcome and side effect information from electronic health records submitted to a specialty specific hyperbaric registry as part of "Stage 2 of Meaningful Use," including data provided to meet PQRS requirements via the registry's QCDR mission. Goals include understanding the value of HBOT among patients treated for a variety of conditions in relation to the frequency and severity of HBOT side effects. While randomized, controlled trials can establish the efficacy of treatments like HBOT, because they routinely exclude patients with co-morbid conditions common to those patients seen in usual clinical practice, the results of RCTs are usually non-generalizable. Real world data can be used to better understand the effectiveness of HBOT among typical patients, as well as the risks associated with treatment.
