Studies from Hamad Medical Corporation Further Understanding of Health and Medicine (The Effect of Evaluating Perfusion with Infrared Fluorescent Angiography on Flap Survival in Head and Neck Free Flap Reconstruction).

A study conducted at Hamad Medical Corporation focused on the impact of evaluating perfusion with Infrared Fluorescent Angiography on flap survival in head and neck free flap reconstruction surgery. The research highlighted the importance of intraoperative fluid management in optimizing perfusion and preventing complications such as edema or fat necrosis. The study concluded that SPY-guided fluid management could potentially reduce morbidities, including extended hospital stays and mechanical ventilation duration, by aiding in the early diagnosis of insufficient perfusion. The findings suggest that monitoring perfusion levels with SPY scores can improve patient outcomes in flap surgery. [Extracted from the article]
