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 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 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 way to manage fluid buildup in patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It uses a simple, non-invasive tool (‘bioimpedance’) to help doctors better balance your fluids, which could help you feel better and recover faster.
This study uses a wearable activity tracker to monitor recovery after breast reconstruction surgery using your own tissue (DIEP flap). The goal is to see if tracking activity can help improve recovery and outcomes.
This study looks at how blood flows through special skin flaps used in reconstructive surgery. It may help doctors better understand and predict how these flaps heal, especially for people who need repair after injuries or pressure sores.
