Brief Summary  

Brief Summary of the Study:

Objective: The objective of this study is to collect digital biomarker (tissue oxygen saturation) measurements from patients using a near-infrared spectrophotometry device to explore early warning for surgical site infection.

Methodology: Crely has developed a sensor for continuous monitoring of tissue saturation of Oxygen (StO2) that has higher potency in early prediction of surgical site infection. About 30 patients undergoing open abdominal surgeries between the ages of 18 to 80 years would be enrolled in the study. The study involves use of a gold standard device to measure tissue oximetry near site of incision (Inspectra 650) used once before surgery (Day 0) followed by 2 times/24 hours from POD 0-5. The investigational device from Crely, Non-Invasive, Low-Risk Experimental Medical Device continuously monitors StO2 for 5 days post operation. The device will be carefully attached to the patient in the post operative recovery room only on extubation and under supervision by the PI or Co-PI. In brief, the sensors are attached to the patient’s skin by adhesive, bilaterally 2 cm from the center of the incision line. The sensors are subsequently connected to the data collector which is attached to the patient’s chest to collect data continuously until day 5 post surgery. Data is stored through bluetooth in a pre-assigned laptop computer.Patients experience standard perioperative surgical procedures and medication of Medical Clinic including antibiotic prophylaxis, pain relief medication for muscle relaxation and anesthetized using Analgesics. Patient’s medical history would be obtained and monitorinf of vitals on POD0-5, WBC count and CRP before surgery and on POD5 would be carried out. Wound characteristics would be assessed daily after POD2, photographs taken and tissue oximetry readings recorded.

Outcome of the study: The ability of the sensor developed by Crely in early prediction of surgical site infection would be deciphered.

Publication: The findings from the study would be published in a peer reviewed journal.
