title: Interstitial fluid pressure as a circulatory monitor in skin flaps.
abstract: Intradermal interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) in the rat epigastric flap has been measured under varying conditions of blood flow. Pressure changes were not as expected. An attempt has been made to explain these anomalous results using radiolabelled isotopes.
