Goal Directed Fluid Management and Patient Outcome in Free Flap Reconstructive Surgery for Head and Neck Oncology: a Feasibility Randomized, Controlled Trial
Goal Directed Fluid Management and Patient Outcome in Free Flap Reconstructive Surgery for Head and Neck Oncology: a Feasibility Randomized, Controlled Trial
Wide excision of head and neck cancer with microsurgical free flap's reconstruction (FFR) results to a high cancer cure rate and a good functional recovery. However, this long complex procedure is accompanied with considerable complications. Excessive fluid administration during this type of surgery has been connected with poor results. There is growing evidence that goal-directed fluid management (GDFM) might improve the results in high-risk patients.
Hypothesis: Goal directed fluid management will reduce intraoperative fluid volume administered to patients undergoing head and neck reconstructive surgery.
