Summary

Patients undergoing free flap reconstructive surgery at University of California, Davis Medical Center (UCDMC) will be assigned randomly into no intervention group (immediate post operative care in an ICU) or intervention group (immediate post operative care in a non-ICU specialty ward). The investigators hypothesize that there is no significant difference in the length of stay (LOS) or complication rate between head and neck free flaps patients managed immediately post-operatively in an ICU versus a non-ICU specialty ward. The primary objective is to compare the postoperative LOS between head and neck free-flap patients managed initially in an ICU versus a non-ICU specialty ward. The secondary objective is to compare differences in the rate of complications between head and neck free flap patients managed initially in an ICU versus a non-ICU specialty ward. Finally, the tertiary objective is to compare differences in resource utilization between head and neck free-flap patients managed initially in an ICU versus a non-ICU specialty ward.
