Abstract
The use of a pulse oximeter for monitoring free muscle transfers is described. Three cases are presented, two of which were uncomplicated and one in which the need for revision of anastomosis was identified by the oximeter. Observations on a pedicled muscle flap are also reported. Pulse oximeters provide an improved photoplethysmographic monitoring technique which is easily performed using completely standard operating theatre equipment.Entities:
