Perioperative Fluid Management in Morbidly Obese Patients

Sweden50 participantsStarted 2011-01

Plain-language summary

In bariatric surgery functional and feasible non- or mini-invasive modalities for monitoring, and ideal/lean body weight estimates are addressed to meet up individual variability in hydration needs, and to avoid hyperhydration. The aim of the study is to evaluate need of perioperative hydration by comparing conventional monitoring (the control group) to a more advanced approach (individualized goal-directed therapy, IGDT) (the intervention group). In addition to conventional cardiovascular monitoring (ECG, non-invasive blood pressure, Sp02) preoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and a intraoperative perioperative mini-invasive pulse-contour device (FloTrac™) will be used for the purpose.
