Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison between the estimated dates of the fluid retention by the traditional judging methods(negative water balance in record-based calculation, decrease in body weight) and the date estimated by the peak in each maker of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis(BIA) measured on admission day and from postoperative 0 to 7days, or of FloTrac systems measured postoperatively. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Correlation between the marker trends in BIA or FloTrac system and the trends in blood markers(Hb,Hct,Alb,BUN/Cre,CRP)or urinary osmolarity. 2) Correlation between the postoperative courses (adverse events, length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay) and the levels of BIA or FloTrac markers at postoperative specific timing. 3) Difference in BIA or FloTrac marker peaks among different esophageal surgical procedures. | — |
