Brief summary
Anesthetic management and fluid therapy is crucial in esophageal resection and reconstruction, which is associated with high incidence of postoperative morbidity and mortality. This study aims to investigate the effect of goal directed fluid management on the postoperative outcome of esophageal resection and reconstruction.
Detailed description
Anesthetic management and fluid therapy is crucial in esophageal resection and reconstruction, which is associated with high incidence of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Excessive fluid administration may result in pulmonary complication, while extremely hypovolemia may lead to shock, circulatory dysfunction, and renal damage. Little is known about fluid status will have impact on anastomotic leakage. Goal-directed fluid therapy has shown to benefit perioperative outcome in major abdominal surgery. This study aims to investigate the effect of goal directed fluid management on the postoperative outcome of esophageal resection and reconstruction.
Interventions
According to Frank-Starling law, the investigator will administer Voluven 6% 250 mL every 5 minute until stroke volume maximized (stabilized for 20 minutes), and maintain cardiac index and stroke volume variation during the whole operation.
The investigator will administer intravenous fluids to keep cardiac index (CI) ≥ 2.2, and maintain CI and stroke volume variation during the whole operation.
