Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Goal-directed intraoperative fluid therapy monitored by Esophageal Doppler identifies volume-responders, thereby decreasing length of stay in hospital in orthopedic \[Sinclair 1997\], cardiac \[Mythen 1995\], and abdominal surgery patients \[Gan 2002, Wakeling 2005, Noblett 2006\]. However, all these studies have been performed with a colloid to be the substance applied. Thus, it has been questioned whether monitoring with the Esophageal Doppler monitor, or the application of additional colloid improved outcome \[Horowitz, Kumar 2003\].
Consequently, the researchers will use Esophageal Doppler Monitoring for intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy to compare the effects of crystalloid vs. colloid therapy on various organ systems, assessing combined perioperative morbidity \[Bennett-Guerrero 1999\] .
