    ObjectiveTo assess whether bioimpedance spectroscopy analysis (BIA) can be used as a tool to guide postoperative fluid management in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.DesignAn observational study.SettingA single tertiary hospital.ParticipantsPatients who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass between June and November 2023 who were able to undergo BIA measurements.InterventionsNone.Measurements And Main ResultsCorrelations between BIA measurements of extracellular fluid (ECF) and total body water (TBW) volumes and daily changes in weight and 24-hour net intake and output (I/O) of fluids were assessed. Correlations between predischarge ECF volume as a percentage of TBW volume (ECF%TBW) and predischarge pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (Pro-BNP) levels and readmissions were analyzed. Changes in daily ECF volume significantly correlated with daily weight changes (p < 0.01) and 24-hour I/O (p < 0 .01). TBW volume significantly correlated with daily weight changes (p < 0.01) and with 24-hour I/O (p = 0.04). Daily weight changes did not correlate with 24-hour I/O (p = 0.06). The patients with predischarge ECF%TBW(%) greater than or equal to 51 had significantly higher predischarge Pro-BNP than those with ECF%TBW(%) less than 51 (p < 0.01). Patients who had heart failure revisits or admissions after discharge had a higher predischarge ECF%TBW(%) on index admission compared with patients who did not have heart failure readmissions (p = 0.01).ConclusionsBIA measurements in postoperative cardiac surgery patients may be a valuable tool to quantitatively determine fluid status to help guide fluid management in this patient population. Further studies validating the use of BIA for postoperative care in this population are warranted.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
