Abstrakt: Background: In reconstructive surgery, loss of a microvascular free flap due to perfusion disorders, especially thrombosis, is a serious complication. In recent years, viscoelastic testing (VET) has become increasingly important in point-of-care (POC) anticoagulation monitoring. This paper describes a protocol for enhanced anticoagulation monitoring during maxillofacial flap surgery.
Objective: The aim of the study will be to evaluate, in a controlled setting, the predictive value of POC devices for the type of flap perfusion disorders due to thrombosis or bleeding. VET, Platelet monitoring (PM) and standard laboratory tests (SLT) are comparatively examined.
Methods/design: This study is an investigator-initiated prospective trial in 100 patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Patients who undergo reconstructive surgery using microvascular-free flaps will be consecutively enrolled in the study. All patients provide blood samples for VET, PM and SLT at defined time points. The primary outcome is defined as free flap loss during the hospital stay. Statistical analyses will be performed using t-tests, including the Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons.
Discussion: This study will help clarify whether VET can improve individualized patient care in reconstruction surgery. A better understanding of coagulation in relation to flap perfusion disorders may allow real-time adaption of antithrombotic strategies and potentially prevent flap complications.
