Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the Treatment of Crush Injuries

June 14, 2022 updated by: NYU Langone Health
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.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 99 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Presenting to NYU Winthrop Hospital with a crush injury of the extremity, including appendages, up to 14 days post injury.
  • No contraindication to hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
  • 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).
  • Absolute contraindication to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (untreated pneumothorax). Relative contraindications (uncontrolled congestive heart failure, uncontrolled seizure disorder, pulmonary disease, claustrophobia) will be assessed by the treating physician.
  • Unable or unwilling to sign informed consent.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Comparator: Standard of Care without HBO
Intravenous access and fluid resuscitation (standard of care treatment)
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.
Experimental: HBO + Standard of Care
Ten daily treatment sessions of HBO at 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.
Procedure: HBO
2.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA) with 90 minutes of hyperbaric oxygen will be given over the course of two weeks.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
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
week 2
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 6

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 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
