Avoiding the night terrors: the effect of circadian rhythm on post-operative urine output and blood pressure in free flap patients.

This study demonstrates that circadian rhythm has a statistically significant impact on UO, MAP and PR. UO, MAP and PR are expected to dip overnight. This dip is normal and does not necessarily need to be treated by increasing IV fluids to avoid over filling of free flap patients. PMID: 33470145 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
