Study Design Feasibility for Preoperative ICG Perfusion Rate as a Predictability Factor for Infection: Measured as Percentage of Patients With Analyzable Data

Summary

The focus of this study is to (1) Explore variability in distribution of 24h ICG in bone and soft tissue infection (2) Evaluate the change in 24h ICG distribution from pre to post debridement (3) Preliminarily determine whether 24h ICG has the possibility predict infection / treatment failure. Patients will be administered a single, ICG, 2.5-5mg/kg dose 24 hours prior to surgery. The patient will be prepared and transported to surgery as per routine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. ICG fluorescence images will be acquired prior to surgical debridement.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Extremity fracture.
  • Prior definitive fracture management with external fixation, internal fixation, or joint fusion.
  • Superficial, deep, or organ space SSI (as per CDC criteria) at the fracture site that requires operative management.
  • Will have all planned SSI care surgeries performed by a participating surgeon or delegate.
  • Provision of informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Fractures of the hand cannot be imaged.
  • Iodine allergy.
  • Burns at the SSI site.
  • Incarceration.
  • Expected survival of less than 90 days.
  • Problems, in the judgment of study personnel, with maintaining follow-up with the patient.
