Abstract
In a series of rabbit experiments, tcPO2 was found to be a very sensitive indicator of flap viability, reflecting minute-to-minute changes in physiology. It is safe, reproducible, and easily verified by comparing flap tcPO2 to a control site and by measuring response to increased FIO2. Transcutaneous PO2 measurements should prove a valuable tool in flap research and in monitoring pedicle flaps and microvascular tissue transfers.Entities:
