Official title

A Pilot Study on the Technical Feasibility of an Electrical Impedance Tomography Device for Soft Tissue Injury Following High Energy Extremity Fractures

Overview

Patients with high-energy extremity trauma will undergo imaging with an EIT device in the Emergency Department, Operating Room, Orthopaedic Clinic, and In-patient hospital rooms. The EIT device is an electrical impedance tomography system.

Interventions

  • Procedure Extremity Surgery
    Patients 18 years of age or older with high energy closed extremity fractures. Provision of informed consent.

Primary outcome measures

  • Feasibility and acceptability of the EIT device [Time frame: 20 minutes]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18 years or older
  • High energy closed extremity fracture
  • Provision of informed consent

Exclusion criteria

  • Metatarsal fractures
  • Injury to both lower extremities precluding contralateral imaging
  • Presence of an implanted electronic device (e.g. pacemaker, vagal stimulator, deep brain stimulator) or electrodes or electrical wires.
  • Currently pregnant, potentially pregnant, or lactating women

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
