Sufficient tissue oxygen tension may reduce the risk of postoperative wound infections.

Supplemental administration of crystalloids increases subcutaneous oxygen tension (Psqo2).

Colloids remain longer in the intravascular system and might therefore increase Psqo2 even more than crystalloids.

Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that goal-directed colloid administration increases the perioperative Psqo2 more compared with crystalloid administration.

We randomly assigned 80 patients undergoing elective open abdominal surgery to receive fluid boluses of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) or lactated Ringer's (LR) solution guided by oesophageal Doppler.

Intraoperative Psqo2 was measured in the upper arm. After operation, we measured the Psqo2 in the upper arm and in the surgical wound.
