Trial summary

Trauma remains the leading cause of death and disability for Americans age 1-44. Trauma can cause internal bleeding, and this bleeding is often hard to detect without sophisticate tests that take time to complete and analyze. Read more about this study

About this study

Trauma remains the leading cause of death and disability for Americans age 1-44. Trauma can cause internal bleeding, and this bleeding is often hard to detect without sophisticate tests that take time to complete and analyze.

In addition, internal bleeding, including bleeding into the lung and chest cavity, as well as other blood loss, happens in many critically ill patients. For example, for hemorrhage, it is very difficult to detect active hemorrhage and to determine optimal rates of fluid and blood resuscitation.

Diffuse optical spectroscopy has the potential to accurately assess adequacy of tissue perfusion, oxygenation, tissue oxygen extraction, and cytochrome oxidation states that may be critical to optimal treatment, end- organ preservation, and survival.

Read the detailed description

The research' want to monitor tissue perfusion and indicators of tissue damage and viability in critically ill patients by using DOS.

Non-invasive Optical Techniques DOS,near-infrared diffuse optical spectroscopy (NIR-DOS.

NIR-DOS provides functional physiologic tissue/organ information without ionizing radiation and without withdrawing any blood, in a cost-effective and rapid manner. The application of frequency-domain photon migration analysis (FDPM) to NIRS allows independent measurements of tissue absorption and scattering properties at depths of 1 cm or more below the skin surface.

Such capabilities will improve early diagnosis, detection, optimization of therapy, assessment of adequacy of resuscitation, and alteration in management plans for all of these critical conditions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Trauma, run by University of California, Irvine at 2 sites 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 2 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The ability to noninvasively diagnose conditions in the intensive care unit, or in battlefield conditions. (time frame: 5 to 60 seconds). 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 1 Nov 2022.
