Bioimpedance for Ortho Trauma
Recruiting
A Pilot Study on the Technical Feasibility of an Electrical Impedance Tomography Device for Soft Tissue Injury Following High Energy Extremity Fractures
Who can join
Ages 18 and older · All sexes
Full 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
About the study
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.
