1 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study aims to investigate whether the intraoperative use of the FloTrac device to guide fluid and vasopressor management during head and neck free flap surgery improves postoperative outcome. Primary postoperative outcome is length of hospital stay. Secondary postoperative outcomes include days in ICU, days on ventilator, presence of postoperative pulmonary edema, need for postoperative vasopressors or transfusions, 30 day flap complication rate, inpatient postoperative cardiorespiratory complications/events, and overall 30 day flap failure rate.
