Brief Summary

Post-operative monitoring of all patients after anaesthesia in the post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) is standard of care today. It helps to reduce morbidity and even mortality in high-risk patients. In addition to clinical monitoring by qualified personnel, this monitoring also includes, commonly non-invasive, intermittent, haemodynamic monitoring. This monitoring is also used to evaluate the transferability of patients from the PACU to the ward. The aim of our study is to perform extended monitoring of volume status and haemodynamics with non-invasive monitoring methods such as transthoracic echocardiography and the volume clamp method in the recovery room.
