Evaluation of Tissue Oxygen Levels During Breast Reconstruction With a New Surgical Device

Terminated
Conditions
Perfusion; Complications
Interventions
Device: Image surgical area
Registration Number
NCT03715270
Lead Sponsor
Christie Medical Holdings, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the information provided to the clinicians by the surgical imaging device. It is also to gain insight on the user interface and how "user friendly" it is to the clinician.

Detailed Description

Over the last decade, objective ways of measuring tissue oxygen have been introduced into the medical arena and are being used more and more for assessing ischemic events in tissue. Handheld Doppler ultrasound, infrared thermography, polarized spectral imaging, laser Doppler perfusion imaging, and fluorescence imaging have all been used with some degree of success. However, only a few have gained universal acceptance. \[1\] Multispectral imaging (MSI) which uses near-infrared (NIR) light to measure tissue oxygen levels in superficial tissue is another method that has been successfully used to assess tissue flap health.

The objective of this study is to conduct an evaluation of superficial tissue with Presygen™/si-1 in various patient types for surgical imaging during breast reconstruction. In addition, participating surgeons will complete a structured survey regarding their assessment of Presygen™/si-1 work station during the surgical procedure.

Primary Goal: Evaluation of superficial tissue in various patient types for surgical imaging during breast reconstruction.

Secondary Goal: Surgeon assessment of surgical work station during surgery through a prepared questionnaire.

GroupInterventionDescription
breast reconstruction surgery patientsImage surgical areaPatients will be imaged with imaging device (Presygen™/si-1) during surgical procedure. Image surgical area. Surgical procedure will follow standard of care. No clinical decisions will be made on device readings. A surgeon will complete a survey regarding his assessment of the imaging device.
