Randomized Study on the Effects of Moderate Anaemia in Free Microvascular Tissue Transfer
- Conditions
- Open Fracture of FootTumor
- Registration Number
- NCT01848431
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Zurich
- Brief Summary
The evaluation of Perfusion of free flaps in patients with moderate anaemia and possible reduction of the transfusion threshold.
* Trial with surgical intervention
- Detailed Description
In study group 1 patients will be kept at a hematocrit level below 28% and only receive transfusions if symptomatic or the fall below 25%. Patients in group 2 will receive transfusions to reach a hematocrit always above 30%.
Tissue perfusion in free flaps will be measured with indocyanine green fluorescence angiography, confocal microscopy and oxygen partial pressure measurement probes.
