About this study

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HBOProcedure or surgery

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

  • Standard of CareOther

    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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. healing measured by percentage of skin necrosis using a Bilateral Perfusion Index (BPI; TCOM of the affected limb/TCOM of the nonaffected limb).

    Measured: week 2

  2. healing measured by percentage of skin necrosis using a Bilateral Perfusion Index (BPI; TCOM of the affected limb/TCOM of the nonaffected limb).

    Measured: week 6

  3. healing measured by percentage of skin necrosis using a Bilateral Perfusion Index (BPI; TCOM of the affected limb/TCOM of the nonaffected limb).

    Measured: week 24

  4. healing measured by percentage of skin necrosis using a Bilateral Perfusion Index (BPI; TCOM of the affected limb/TCOM of the nonaffected limb).

    Measured: week 52

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. hospital length of stay

    Number of days admitted over 52 weeks

    Measured: 52 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HBO in people with Crush Injury, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

healing measured by percentage of skin necrosis using a Bilateral Perfusion Index (BPI; TCOM of the affected limb/TCOM of the nonaffected limb). (time frame: week 2). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jun 2022.
