Abstract:BackgroundFree flap reconstruction for head and neck cancer is associated with a high risk of perioperative complications. One of the modifiable risk factors associated with perioperative morbidity is intraoperative hypotension (IOH). The main aim of this pilot study is to determine if the intraoperative use of goal‐directed hemodynamic therapy (GDHT) is associated with a reduction in the number of IOH events in this population.MethodsA before‐and‐after study design. The patients who had intraoperative GDHT we… Show more
