Perioperative blood pressure kinetics and hematoma rates in head and neck free flap reconstruction

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate how blood pressure management affects hematoma rates after head and neck free flap reconstruction.
Analyzed postoperative blood pressure management strategies
Monitored MAP levels, aiming for <110 mmHg
Assessed hematoma rates and flap success post-surgery
Reduced hematoma rates were observed with strict blood pressure control
MAP levels below 110 mmHg correlated with lower flap failure
Effective blood pressure management improved overall surgical outcomes

Abstract

Our findings suggest that postoperative blood pressure control is critical in reducing hematoma risk following HNFFR. Strict postoperative blood pressure management, particularly maintaining a MAP goal of <110 mmHg, may reduce hematoma risk and associated flap failure.
