Background: Monitoring strategies have been developed to address the issue of detecting postoperative free nap ischemia in an effort to permit intervention and flap salvage. No one existing noninvasive method has been widely accepted in a clinical setting. Green light photoplethysmography (GLP) uses a diode to transmit green light into a tissue. Reflected light from hemoglobin in dermal capillary red blood cells is analyzed as light intensity along a frequency spectrum. A pure peak signal (1-2 Hz) is identified and provides a way to distinguish between perfused and nonperfused tissue.Design: Prospective, blinded comparison.Subjects: Sixty of 72 consecutive patients considered for free flap reconstruction were enrolled in a protocol to evaluate the efficacy of GLP.Intervention: After free flap elevation, but before pedicle ligation, 120-second baseline measurements were obtained; 120-second measurements then occurred 5 minutes after the onset or release of individual venous or arterial occlusion. Signals were processed by fast Fourier transfer; a mean alternating current-direct current (AC/ DC) ratio was cultivated for each signal. All data were analyzed in a blinded fashion.Results: The AC/DC ratio of GLP was statistically significant across all flap perfusion states (P
