2. Goal-directed fluid therapy during major abdominal surgery
Abstract : Background: Both hypo- and hypervolemia increase the risk for postoperative complications after major abdominal surgery. Fluid needs vary amongst patients depending on differences in preoperative dehydration, intraoperative physiology and surgical characteristics. READ MORE

3. Mathematical modelling of clinical applications in fluid therapy
Abstract : Background: This thesis presents a new application of fluid kinetic analysis using mathematical tools to evaluate fluid therapy problems. Several models were developed to mathematically handle fluid distribution concerning bleeding and anaesthesia, arterio-venous differences in plasma dilution, peripheral fluid accumulation and differences in fluid distribution among young and elderly patients.
