Brief Summary

During an enterectomy, especially in an open surgery, large amounts of fluid are administered in consideration of the patient's fasted state, maintaining blood pressure during surgery and potential third space loss. However, it has recently been reported that excessive fluid administration during surgery is actually detrimental to patients' prognoses. In fact, several reports have suggested that compared to limited fluid administration, excessive fluid administration increased the length of stay or the chances of complications. Thus, goal-directed fluid optimization is required during surgery because only a proper amount of fluid (neither limited nor excessive) administration can minimize postoperative complications and enhance prognosis. In general, the amount of fluid administered is determined with regard to the patient's volume status, including a comprehensive assessment of vital signs such as the pulse rate and blood pressure, and urine volume. However, this method has limitations in that it is an inadequate indicator of the actual intravascular volume of a patient to determine and administer the proper amount of fluid. Recently, new methods of measuring volume status that are less invasive and more accurate have been introduced. These methods include stroke volume variation (SVV) that monitors changes in arterial pressure waveform amplitudes with regard to breathing patterns. This is an effective method of monitoring fluid responsiveness after placing a catheter via a radial artery puncture. The stroke output is dependent on the preload, afterload, and cardiac contractility. The cardiac output is determined by multiplying the stroke output and heart rate. SVV indicates the difference in stroke output within one breathing cycle. A direct or indirect measurement of stroke output is required, which can be performed by analyzing arterial pressure waveforms via a FloTrac Sensor (Edwards Lifesciences, USA) monitor. SVV is known to have a high fluid responsiveness even during open surgeries, yet there is practically no research data on its effect in patients' postoperative recovery and prognosis in comparison to the traditional methods of fluid administration. Therefore, the investigators will apply SVV via a FloTrac/ Vigileo™ monitor on patients undergoing bowel resection to determine whether it better assists proper fluid administration compared to the traditional method of fluid administration by examining the patients' postoperative prognosis such as bowel movement recovery and length of stay.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Control group	Conventional arterial blood pressure monitoring	For the traditional method group, crystalloid and colloid (maximum 50 ml/kg) are provided through the traditional method of assessing the blood pressure, heart rate and urine volume.
SVV group	Stroke volume variation monitoring with arterial blood pressure monitoring	The method of fluid administration to be employed (traditional or SVV via a FloTrac/ EV1000™ monitor) is determined based on the group. Fluid administration is performed in accordance with the group; in general, about 10 ml/kg/h is administered although it may vary for each patient depending on the preoperative fasting, fluid loss during surgery (evaporation, emanation, urination, surgical area, etc.), and blood loss. Crystalloid is administered in the SVV-monitored group with a target below SVV 12%, and a 200-300 ml of colloid (maximum 50 ml/kg) is loaded when SVV is above 12%. If the patient shows hypertension even when SVV is below 12%, a vasoconstrictor should be administered intermittently or consistently.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Recovery of bowel movement - gas passing time after bowel resection	24 hous	To evaluate the difference in bowel movement recovery whether using SVV or not on the fluid management in the patients undergoing open enterectomy, the difference of postoperative gas passing time will be compared.
