“…According to these authors the flow decreased during and after smoking a cigarette, returning to baseline values within 2-5 min. Similar findings have been reported by others [4,22]. Although Mavropoulos et al [23] also observed a decrease in cutaneous blood flow of the thumb, they observed an opposite response in forehead skin and gingiva.…”

“…However, it is generally accepted that the use of tobacco is also notorious for its chronic, detrimental effect on the microcirculation. Comparing smoking and non-smoking subjects, van Adrichem et al and Petschke et al observed lower baseline values of blood flow, recorded at the tip of the finger or thumb, in smoking subjects [4,22]. This difference, however, lacked significance.…”

“…There is also evidence to suggest that acute smoking reduces peripheral blood flow of the gut [3,4]. Literature describing the chronic effect of smoking on the mucosal blood flow (MBF) is scarce; however, the impaired effect of smoking on anastomotic healing in the gastro-intestinal tract is widely known and described in the literature [5][6][7][8].…”

“…Previous studies have also demonstrated the influence of smoking and certain comorbidities on replant success. 18,21,22,27,28 Our study evaluated the number of comorbidities and did not find association with replant success or failure. Overall the relative lack of influence of patient characteristics further supports the argument that the immediate survival of a digit replant is more dependent on the operative proficiency of the surgeon.…”

Objective Digital replantation attempt and success rates have been declining in the U.S. Regionalization of digit replantation has been proposed as a solution to improve both attempt and success rates of these procedures. There is limited information about which criteria could establish a hospital as a center specialized for digit replantation. We analyzed hospital replantation volume and patient factors associated with successful thumb/finger replantation. Methods A retrospective study using data from 2008–2012 State Inpatient Data (SID) of Health Care Cost and Utilization project (HCUP) from five states (New York, California, North Carolina, Utah, and Florida) was performed. Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) method was used to examine the association between patient characteristics and hospital volume and success of thumb/finger replantation. A Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and Youden’s J statistic were used to determine annual hospital replant volume cut-off levels for success rates. Results There were 3,417 digit amputation injuries, with 631 replant attempts (18%) with an overall thumb/finger replantation success rate of 70%. The hospital annual replantation volume increased the odds of success (OR=1.06, CI: 1.02–1.10). The annual hospital volume of 3 replants was needed to achieve a success rate of 70%. Conclusions Practice patterns demonstrate that hospitals with higher annual volume have greater success. Identifying high-volume centers and regionalization of digit replantation should be considered a priority.

“…Das Laser-Doppler-Imaging ist heutzutage ein akzeptiertes und weit verbreitetes Verfahren zur quantitativen Erfassung der Hautdurchblutung [4,24]. Bereits zahlreiche Studien haben die Durchblutung in verschiedenen Körperregionen bei Rauchern und Nichtrauchern bei Zigarettenkonsum untersucht [5,14,24,28]. Die in unserer Arbeit nachgewiesene deutliche Verringerung der Hautdurchblutung während des Zigarettenkonsums beim Raucher und Nichtraucher steht hierbei im Einklang mit bisher veröffent-lichten Arbeiten [9,11,14].…”
