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
