Abstract:Introduction:
The use of tissue oximetry for monitoring following free tissue transfer has become a common practice to facilitate early detection of poor flap perfusion. We hypothesized that T stat readings may guide fluid administration in the postoperative period and improve perfusion in patients undergoing autologous breast reconstruction.
Methods:
Patients undergoing free flap breast reconstruction from 2015 to 2018 were reviewed. Mean percutaneous oximetry readings of the first four postoperative days w… Show more
