Detección basada en fluorescencia de la inflamación y necrosis para informar la toma de decisiones quirúrgicas y mejorar los resultados

Resumen breve

This study investigates fluorescence image-guided surgery to allow precise identification of necrotic tissue both preoperatively and intraoperatively in burn patients. Furthermore, it uses a multi-model approach to elucidate the localization of ICG in inflammation and necrosis to determine how this novel use of a well-known fluorescence marker can be optimized to aid in surgical decision making. This proposal will provide the necessary data to support the design of a larger clinical trial to study the feasibility and efficacy of this technology to improve the precision of necrosis detection and removal and improve wound healing outcomes. Up to 100 participants will be on study for up to approximately 24 days.
