About this study

Official title: The Effect of Indocyanine Green Titration on Fluorescent Intensity Degree in Free Flap : A Lookout to Flap Surface Temperature, TCPO2, TCPCO2, HIF-1 Alpha Expression Level, and Histopathology

This study is a randomized clinical trials that aim to determine the effect of Indocyanine Green (ICG) titration dose on the intensity degree of ICG fluorescence imaging results. In addition, this study will also determine the relationship of other indicators such as flap surface temperature, transcutaneous pressure of carbon dioxide (TcPCO2), transcutaneous pressure of oxygen (TcPCO2), HIF - 1 alpha expression, and flap histopathology morphology to the intensity degree of ICG fluorescence imaging results with titrated doses.

Read the detailed description

The ICG contrast solution will be evaluated with Near-Infrared (NIR) camera that being fixated 20 cm above the flap after the injection. The imaging result will be analyzed using ImageJ Application to assess the grey value. The fluorescent intensity of ICG will be compared with other tests.

Drop Out Criteria :

  • Patients who are unable to complete the research procedure due to various condition, such as death
  • Patients who experience complications or worsening, during and after surgery.
Being tested
Indocyanine Green Fluorescence (ICG), Temperature, Transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide pressure, Histopathology, Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) alpha

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Indocyanine Green Fluorescence (ICG)Diagnostic test

    Also called ICG fluorescence

    The ICG will be injected intravenously and being assessed with Near-infrared (NIR) camera FLUORO4000XL 20 cm above the flap and fluorescence intensity counted with application called ImageJ

  • TemperatureDiagnostic test

    Portable thermal imaging camera called Forward-looking infrared (FLIR) ONE® was used to assess flap and normal skin temperature. The FLIR ONE® device was place in perpendicular manner from the skin. The images were attained in two points of times which is direct temperature and after cold challenge test.

  • Transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide pressureDiagnostic test

    The partial transcutaneous pressure is measured in flap using transcutaneous monitor (TCM) Combi probe. The probe should be cleaned using alcohol pads before use. After 5-10 minutes, the TCM 4 machine monitor should show stable transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide pressure from the flap

  • HistopathologyDiagnostic test

    A part of tissue from free flap is acquired and stored in 10% formalin tube. Later on, the tissue was colored with hematoxylin-eosin, neutrophile count, necrosis volume, and vessel proliferation will be assessed

  • Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) alphaDiagnostic test

    Peripheral tissue from distal free flap (0,5 x 0,5 cm in size) is obtained and stored in tube with dry ice. The tissue is assessed with human HIF - 1 Alpha Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit ab171577.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Effect of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Intensity to evaluate free flap perfusion

    The fluorescence of ICG that being captured with near-infrared (NIR) camera is store in video file to be evaluated. The video duration is 2 minutes long after ICG injection. The fluorescence intensity of the flap in the video is being measured with ImageJ application. The highest level of intensity (numerical data) is considered as the optimal fluorescence intensity that being analyzed later on. The optimal indocyanine green titration will be seen after ImageJ analysis in numerical data called gray values.
