Intraoperative fluid demand will be monitored by Esophageal Doppler in lean and obese patients.
To our knowledge no data are available on the effect of goal-directed fluid therapy on hemodynamics in lean patients and obese patients, respectively. Consequently, we want to compare lean patients (BMI \<25) vs. obese patients (BMI \>25) in regard of their respective needs for intraoperative fluid therapy, and the impact of the goal-directed fluid regimen on tissue oxygenation.
