| Popis: | (1) Background: Oncological demolitive–reconstructive surgeries in the head and neck region cause significant stress on patients’ biohumoural, cardiac, and vascular systems, leading to disturbances in macrocirculatory and microcirculatory parameters. Traditional monitoring addresses the symptoms, but not the underlying cause. Microcirculatory assessments complement macrocirculatory monitoring, and bladder-catheter-based technology offers a better representation of central microcirculation. Flap reconstruction surgeries involve demolitive and reconstructive phases, requiring optimal tissue perfusion. The literature lacks a consensus on macro–microcirculation coupling, and there is no agreement on the use of vasopressors during head and neck surgeries. Evidence-based guidelines are lacking, resulting in variations in vasopressor administration. (2) Methods: This is a 12-month observational, prospective study conducted in a single center. It aims to evaluate the impact of macro–microcirculation coupling on clinical complications in head and neck surgery. All consecutive patients undergoing oncologic surgery requiring flap reconstruction and meeting the inclusion criteria will be enrolled. The study will utilize standard hemodynamic monitoring and bladder catheterization for measuring urine output and temperature. (3) Conclusions: The study aims to evaluate the coupling of macro- and microcirculation in head and neck surgeries, assess hemodynamic parameters and microcirculatory changes, and investigate their association with postoperative complications. The results can enhance patient care and surgical outcomes. |
