    Laser Doppler flowmetry waveform analysis aids in monitoring free flaps. This method can diagnose and differentiate arterial or venous occlusion in microcirculation.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Surgical Monitoring
    • Microcirculation Research

    Background:

    • Free flap monitoring is crucial for surgical success.
    • Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is a valuable tool for assessing tissue perfusion.
    • Understanding microcirculatory changes is key to flap viability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the application of waveform analysis to Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) signals.
    • To analyze microcirculatory waveform changes during controlled arterial and venous occlusion.
    • To determine if LDF waveform analysis can differentiate between arterial and venous occlusion.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) to record microcirculatory blood flow.
    • Applied quantitative waveform analysis to LDF signals.
