Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to see if there is benefit in using an IV contrast (sodium fluorescein) to identify nerves during head and neck surgery.
Interventions
Intravenous administration of 1 mg/kg. If initial dosing is insufficient, additional doses may be administered up to a total of 3 mg/kg

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Facial nerve correlation of Fluorescein Sodium With Electrostimulation | Intraoperative | Surgeon assessment of fluorescence correlation with electrostimulation using a Likert-style rating from 1-4 where 1=No correlation; 2=Some correlation; 3=Good correlation; 4=Excellent correlation |
| Correlation of Fluorescein Sodium With Surgeons' Visual Assessment of nerve | Intraoperative | Survey of surgeon visual assessment of nerve under white light compared to fluorescence using a Likert-style rating from 1-4 where 1=No correlation; 2=Some correlation; 3=Good correlation; 4=Excellent correlation. |
| Ratio of Nerve Fluorescence compared to Background Tissue | Intraoperative | Ratio of nerve fluorescence intensity compared to background fluorescence intensity |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Average Dose of Sodium Fluorescein Administration | Intraoperative | Average dose of sodium fluorescein administered in mg/kg |
