Flux Measurement and Outcome in Major Abdominal Surgery

NCT02612883 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 137

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Tissue perfusion is a critical factor for tissue regeneration and healing of anastomoses. Compromised microperfusion in the area where the anastomosis is sited likely contributes to leaks, but until now there has not been an easy and reliable technique to intraoperatively evaluate microperfusion.

Objectives: To assess the association of intraoperative flux measurement with postoperative outcome of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.

Trial design: Prospective observational study. Flux measurement will be carried out using the moorVMS-LDF DUAL CHANNEL Laser Doppler Blood Flow system. The flux probe will be applied on the respective organs (i.e. esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, colon, rectum) and measurements will be documented after a stable signal has been obtained.
