Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to use a device to compare the blood flow in the patient's injured arm to the patient's uninjured arm. This will help us determine 'normal' readings for this device for a child's forearm and may in the future help us detect children that have injured the blood vessels that go to the forearm when they have an elbow fracture. The patient will be one of approximately 100 people involved in this research project at Carolinas Medical Center, and the patient's participation will last until the patient is discharged from the hospital. It is hypothesized that if the blood vessel is uninjured, the readings on the NIRS device on the injured arm will be equal to the uninjured arm. It is also hypothesized that if the blood vessel of the injured arm is injured, the readings on the NIRS device will be different than on the uninjured arm.
