Bioimpedance monitoring in belly-flap breast reconstruction
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a method called bioimpedance to monitor blood flow in the transplanted belly tissue during breast reconstruction surgery. It may help doctors know when the blood supply is stable, which could lead to safer recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having breast reconstruction surgery using tissue from your belly (called a 'free flap').
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a pacemaker or an artificial heart.

This study tests if avoiding a drain in the abdomen during DIEP flap breast reconstruction reduces complications and shortens hospital stays.
This study looks at ways to help your recovery after breast reconstruction using tissue moved from your lower belly (a DIEP flap). You may be asked to complete a questionnaire during the recovery period.
This study looks at how well a bone-free flap heals after head and neck reconstruction, using tiny pressure/fluid sensors (called microdialysis) to monitor healing. It may help surgeons catch healing problems earlier and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a device that measures oxygen levels in skin flaps used during reconstructive surgery. It may help doctors ensure the flap is healing well after surgery on an arm or leg.
This study tests whether a noninvasive body monitor (bio impedance) can track fluid balance in children during planned surgery under general anesthesia. If it works well, it may help doctors manage fluids more safely during surgery.
This study tests a new non-invasive measurement tool (electrical bioimpedance) in patients with AML or MDS who are already having a bone marrow biopsy. The tool sends a mild electrical signal through your body to measure fluid and cell content, which may help doctors better understand and monitor blood cancers.
