Effect of Oral Water in Healthy Volunteers on Cardiac Output, Regional Flow and Microcirculation in Healthy Volunteers

Human digestive system physiologically ensures the absorption of oral water and hydration of the human body. Water is quickly absorbed by the digestive tract with a peak between 15 and 20 minutes. It has demonstrated that oral water remains the best hydration solution that have an effect on plasma volume expansion and cardiovascular system during exercise. While the cardiovascular effect of fluid expansion by saline serum is well known (venous return, preload and cardiac output), effect of oral water varies in the literature depending on the physiological state of the patient and the clinical state. Thus, the investigators aim to investigate oral water effects on fluid responsiveness, regional blood flow and microcirculatory changes.
