Implementation of hyperspectral imaging in a trauma resuscitation room: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a novel imaging technology with the ability to assess microcirculatory impairment. We aimed to assess feasibility of performing HSI, a noninvasive, contactless method to assess microcirculatory alterations, during trauma resuscitation care.

Methods

This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in a dedicated trauma resuscitation room of a level one trauma center. We included adult patients who were admitted to the trauma resuscitation room. Patients were allocated in a 1:1 ratio to the HSI group (intervention) or control group. In addition to the standard of care, patients in the intervention group had two hyperspectral recordings (HSR) of their hand palm taken. Primary outcomes were the treatment duration of the primary su
