Abstract

Technically assisted assessment of volume status before cardiac surgery may be useful to direct intraoperative fluid administration. Using a three-compartment physiologic tissue model, the body composition monitor (BCM, In Body) measures total body fluid volume, extracellular volume, intracellular volume and fluid overload as surplus or deficit of ‘normal’ extracellular volume. Fluid overload is a risk factor for infection, increased re intubation rates, pneumonia and acute kidney injury in these high risk patients.
