Accuracy of TCOM vs NIRS in Predicting Wound Outcomes in Patients Treated With or Without Revascularization
Purpose
The primary purpose of this project is to compare the accuracy of transcutaneous oxygen monitoring and near infrared spectroscopy in assessing cutaneous oxygen levels in chronic wounds of patients following revascularization procedures as well as those with conservatively managed chronic wounds. This study will also compare the efficiency and practicality of both methods in guiding treatment decisions and management of these wounds.

Arm Groups
Arm | Description | Assigned Intervention |
---|---|---|
Revascularization | This group will include patients whose cutaneous oxygen partial pressure (PO2) around the wound of interest measures less than 40 mmHg and therefore require revascularization. |
|
Medical Management | This group will include patients whose cutaneous PO2 around the wound of interest measures greater than 40 mmHg and will be managed conservatively in wound clinic |
