简要总结
Patients requiring high dose pressors (minimum 2) who are unlikely to be weaned off them over 1 day will be identified. Patients will have the device applied to one hand while expectant medical management will continue to the contralateral hand.
详细描述
The proposed study offers no foreseeable risk to patients. The device relies on a wound vac system for vacuum generation which is industry standard and approved for creating safe suction applied to wounds. In this application, the same suction and device would be used to apply suction to an enclosure through which the hand is placed. Similarly, a heat exchanger would be used to run lukewarm water through a warming bad, which is technology that is routinely used in surgery. Heater coolers are used in every bypass surgery, and warming fluid blankets are common for helping to rewarm patients on the operating room table.

结局指标
主要结局
Incidence of digital ischemia
时间窗: Day 14
rate of digital ischemia characterized by tissue loss or destruction - measure incidence rate as a ratio of patients who got digital ischemia with the number of patients who were on vasopressors
次要结局
- extent of digital ischemia - length of digits involved(Day 14)
- extent of digital ischemia - number of digits involved(Day 14)
