Transcutaneous PO2 monitoring of flap circulation following surgery. 1979

B M Achauer, and K S Black, and A V Beran, and R F Huxtable

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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012867 Skin The outer covering of the body that protects it from the environment. It is composed of the DERMIS and the EPIDERMIS.
D013524 Surgical Flaps Tongues of skin and subcutaneous tissue, sometimes including muscle, cut away from the underlying parts but often still attached at one end. They retain their own microvasculature which is also transferred to the new site. They are often used in plastic surgery for filling a defect in a neighboring region.
