Blood pressure and microvascular free flap perfusion in head and neck reconstruction– a retrospective analysis
Microvascular free flap perfusion in PFFs, specifically postoperative flap blood flow and hemoglobin oxygen saturation, is influenced by blood pressure. This suggests that blood pressure might be an adjustable variable for the control of flap perfusion and should be considered as a confounding variable for flap monitoring based on flap perfusion in PFFs.
