Detecting Microsurgical Complications with ViOptix Tissue Oximetry in a Pediatric Myocutaneous Free Flap: Case Presentation and Literature Review
2018
Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery Open
Microvascular compromise from arterial or venous occlusion is a common cause of free flap failure. The salvage rate following a microvascular compromise is dependent on detecting the problem early and intervening quickly. Methods The ViOptix tissue oximeter measures tissue oxygen saturation using the near-infrared spectroscopy technology. The ViOptix device has an alarm capability to warn of potential compromise to tissue perfusion. The tissue oximetry readings are visible on the bedside
