Using normobaric oxygen therapy for critical limb ischemia

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the use of normobaric oxygen therapy in patients with chronic permanent ischemia of the lower limbs, a severe condition characterized by insufficient blood flow. The study will assess the proportion of patients receiving this therapy in routine clinical practice and its potential benefits in improving patient outcomes. By analyzing the Wound, Ischemia, Foot Infection Score (WIfI score), the research will explore improvements in various aspects of the condition, providing insights into the therapy's effectiveness. The hypothesis is that normobaric oxygen therapy may offer medical benefits compared to standard care without oxygen therapy.
