The use of vasopressors during microsurgery is still debated. General anesthesia often
induces hypotension, but microsurgeons are reluctant to use intraoperative vasopressors …

General anesthesia induces hypotension and this is commonly treated intraoperatively with
administering vasopressors. Microsurgeons are hesitant to use vasopressors due to the …

Objective: To examine the effects of vasopressors on free flap outcomes. Background: Most
micro-surgeons avoid the use of vasopressors during free flap surgery due to concerns of …

Objectives Intraoperative management of hemodynamic instability during microvascular flap
reconstruction is often based on anecdotal experience. Randomized controlled trials are …

Background The use of vasopressors in free flap surgery has traditionally been avoided due
to the presumed risk of pedicle vasospasm leading to flap failure. However, there is a lack of …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to critically examine intraoperative vasopressor
usage as it relates to free flap perfusion and its effect on perioperative complications in …

Methods A systematic review of the literature was performed. Bibliographies of key articles
were also reviewed for additional resources. Analysis was done to determine the overall …

The efficacy of vasoconstrictor infiltration in reducing blood loss is well known. However,
adrenaline infiltration is potentially harmful to tissues. The question of whether or not …

Background: During deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap cases, anesthesiologists
commonly avoid intravenous vasopressor administration because of the theoretical concern …

Background Microvascular surgeons always hold strong belief against the use of
vasopressors during free flap surgery. Our aim is to study the safety of intra‐operative …
