Hydrogen clearance technique was evaluated for measuring skin flap blood flow in a pig model. This method assesses blood flow by detecting changes in hydrogen concentration within tissues. Results confirmed that hydrogen clearance can accurately and reliably measure skin flap blood flow in pigs. Compared to conventional blood flow measurement methods, it demonstrated high accuracy and reproducibility, suggesting it could be a useful tool for non-invasive blood flow assessment in skin flaps.

This study compared Laser Doppler Fluxmetry (LDF) and the Thermal Diffusion Method (TDM) with the Hydrogen Clearance technique for measuring skin blood flow. LDF uses lasers to assess surface blood flow, while TDM evaluates blood flow through skin temperature variations. Findings indicate that both methods effectively measure skin blood flow, but differences exist in accuracy and reliability. Compared to hydrogen clearance, LDF demonstrated higher accuracy and consistency, suggesting it may be a more effective technique for skin blood flow evaluation.
