Measuring oxygen in skin flaps during plastic surgery
This study uses a special light-based device to measure oxygen levels in the tissue of skin flaps during plastic surgery. It aims to help doctors monitor blood flow and improve surgical outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 90 years old.
- You must be scheduled for a plastic surgery reconstruction that uses a flap.
- You must be able and willing to provide signed consent.
- You must not be considered a vulnerable person (e.g., pregnant, nursing, imprisoned, or with impaired decision-making).

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 checks how well pulse oximeters (the devices that clip on your finger to measure oxygen levels) work when healthy people breathe lower-oxygen air. It helps make sure these devices are accurate for everyone.
This trial tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help heal skin flaps that are not getting enough blood after breast cancer surgery. It may prevent tissue death and improve recovery.
This study uses a special light-based device to measure oxygen levels in your tissues during vascular surgery. It aims to see if this device can help doctors monitor blood flow more effectively during the operation, which could improve outcomes.
This study tests a special light sensor that measures blood flow to the heart and other organs during complex heart surgery. It may help doctors better understand and manage blood flow in children at risk for complications.
This study measures oxygen levels in the heart muscle during open-heart surgery using a light-based technique. You may qualify if you are an adult scheduled for this surgery and can provide consent.
