The Impact of Intraoperative Vasopressor Use and Fluid Status on Flap Survival in Traumatic Lower Extremity Reconstruction.

This study demonstrated that intraoperative vasopressor use and adequate fluid status may be beneficial in improving flap outcomes in LE reconstruction. Vasopressor use with adequate fluid management can optimize hemodynamic stability when necessary during traumatic LE microvascular reconstruction without concern for increased risk of flap ischemia.
