Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. To determine the feasibility of non-invasive measurement of oxygen consumption (V̇O2) using indirect calorimetry in a cohort of patients
2. To determine the feasibility of non-invasive measurement of oxygen delivery (DO2) in the same cohort using non-invasive measures of cardiac output, oxygen saturation and haemoglobin (pulse wave transit time and co-oximetry techniques)
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
As pilot work examining the relationship between post-operative oxygen consumption and complications in patients having contemporary major abdominal surgery , the investigators need to define and grade the severity of complications. The Post-Operative Morbidity Survey (POMS) is a simple outcome scale designed to record the incidence of clinically important complications - specifically complications likely to keep a patient in hospital. A POMS score performed on Day 5 is likely to be discriminative between patients who are recovering well, and those who are developing complications. POMS is easily performed, has good internal validity and is predictive of a prolonged length of stay. POMS is not a simple additive scale; however patients with POMS score of 1 or greater are highly likely to remain in hospital, whereas those with a score of 0 are likely to be able to go home.
