Transcutaneous PO2 in flaps: a new method of survival prediction.
We have shown a new clinical method for flap monitoring. This new method is noninvasive, continuous, quantitative, easy, and commercially available. If any oxygen can be detected or if there is a response to increased FIO2, flap survival is assured.
