Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of patients with postoperative pulmonary complication

    A radiologist who was unaware of the group assignment evaluated the images and confirmed any PPCs, such as pulmonary edema, pneumonia, pleural effusion or atelectasis

    1 day

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Mean arterial blood pressure, MAP (mmHg)

    1 day

  • Cardiac index , CI (L·min-1·m-2))

    1 day

  • Systemic vascular resistance index, SVRI (dynes · sec · cm-5)

    1 day

  • Stroke Volume Variation , SVV (%)

    1 day

Study Arms (2)

TIVA with Propofol in free flap surgery

EXPERIMENTAL

Total intravenous anesthesia(TIVA) with Propofol

Drug: Propofol

Sevoflurane in free flap surgery

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Inhalation anesthesia with Sevoflurane

Drug: Sevoflurane

Interventions

For the maintenance of anesthesia, we used 2% propofol (Fresofol®, Fresenius Kabi, Germany) administered by the target controlled infusion (TCI) system (Orchestra® Base Primea; Fresenius Kabi, Germany) in Schnider mode with an effect concentration (Ce) of 2.5-3.5 µg ml-1

TIVA with Propofol in free flap surgery

Anesthesia was maintained using 1-3% sevoflurane (ULTANE®, AbbVie Inc., USA) in the Sevoflurane group.

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients who need head and neck cancer excision and free flap reconstruction surgery

You may not qualify if:

  • preoperative cognitive dysfunction, NYHA CHF \> III or LVEF \< 30%
  • preoperative documented obstructive or restrictive lung disease
  • liver cirrhosis; severe chronic renal insufficiency (GFR \< 30 ml·min-1·1.73 m-2.)
  • peripheral arterial occlusive disease expected to be a contraindication for PiCCO catheter insertion
  • Active cardiac arrhythmias that were assumed to preclude valid assessment using arterial pulse contour analysis
  • anticipated bilateral femoral arterial and central venous catheterization when the jugular and subclavian veins were not available due to surgical extent
