Transcutaneous CO2 Pressure Monitoring Increases Salvage Rates after Free Tissue Transplantation for Extremity Reconstruction

Conclusions: TcPCO2 monitoring was performed after FTT for extremity reconstruction, and all cases of reoperation were salvaged. TcPCO2 monitoring can detect impaired postoperative blood flow critically earlier than clinical assessments and may increase salvage rates of transplanted tissue.
