| Research Projects |
|
The qualitative and quantitative
evaluation of the perfusion of a
perforator based flap. Research
project approved by North and Mid
Essex Ethical Committee and funded by
Mid Essex Hospitals Trust. A grant of
£ 30,000 has been sanctioned towards
this project. This study involves use
of LASER Doppler and surface SO2 probe
for studying the physiologic changes
in the blood flow of perforator based
flaps. I have designed the research
and obtained ethical committee
approval for it. My consultant
colleagues who are collaborating and
supporting this research project are
Mr. Niranjan, Mr. Ramakrishnan and Dr.
Pal ( R & D director). Changes in the
blood flow in a perforator based flap
once it has been islanded are being
studied.
Audit
Audit of the antenatal and postnatal
counseling protocol for babies born
with clefts- A patient satisfaction
survey. I reviewed 124 patients.
Conclusion of the audit was that
Antenatal diagnosis with antenatal
counseling improves the overall
experience and outcome of the birth of
a cleft child for the parents. The
findings led to meaningful improvement
in antenatal counseling practices. I
presented the findings at the East
Anglia Regional Audit meeting in July
99.
