Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether using hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) improves wound healing for patients who have a crush injury. The comparison of the prospective intervention group to the retrospective matched cohort aims to show that HBO can improve wound healing and decrease poor outcomes for patients with crush injuries. The information gained from this small study will serve as a basis for a follow-up prospective, randomized control trial to further delineate the role of HBO in a larger patient population.

• Able and willing to sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Critically-ill patient requiring intubation or pressor support.

• Crush injury isolated to the distal phalanx (Tuft fracture).

Intervention

Procedure:
• HBO
2.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA) with 90 minutes of hyperbaric oxygen will be given over the course of two weeks.

Other:
• Standard of Care
20 patients will be included in the retrospective review arm. The retrospective chart review will be performed to determine the outcomes of patients with crush injuries treated at NYU Winthrop Hospital without HBO from 1/1/2012-12/31/2018.
