New blood test during hyperbaric oxygen for severe infections
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study checks if a new blood test (measuring carbon dioxide differences between veins and arteries) can help doctors better treat people with a severe infection in a high-pressure oxygen chamber. It is for critically ill patients already on life support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a severe skin infection (necrotizing fasciitis) that has caused life-threatening low blood pressure (septic shock).
- You are on a breathing machine and sedated so you cannot breathe on your own.
- You have a central line (a special IV near the heart) and an arterial line (a tube in an artery) for blood draws.
- You do not have any condition that makes hyperbaric oxygen therapy unsafe, like a collapsed lung, recent heart attack, or severe breathing problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing whether giving extra oxygen in a special chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help treat a serious, deep-skin infection. You may qualify if you've been diagnosed with this infection and are well enough for surgery.
This trial tests whether a blood filtering treatment called hemoadsorption can help protect blood vessels in people with septic shock. It may be an option for patients who are already on strong blood pressure medications and steroids.
This trial tests whether adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy to standard care helps adults with a serious soft-tissue infection. It could improve healing and reduce complications.
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a special pressurized chamber) can help heal bone infections that develop after a leg injury. The therapy is given alongside surgery to clean and treat the infection.
This trial studies how giving extra oxygen (hyperoxia) affects blood flow in the brain for patients on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if short bursts of higher oxygen levels are safe and how they change brain activity.
This trial is testing whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It is for people with diabetes who have a foot ulcer that is not healing well.
