Cell swelling is well known event which occurs in hypoxia, shock and reperfusion injury. However, this pathophysiological event of the fluid shift between extracellular and intracellular space is not easy to monitor in clinical setting
Bioelectrical impedance analysis(or "BIA"), was developed for assessing body composition and nutritional status.
However, recent advances in bioelectrical impedance spectrum analysis, (so we call "BISA"), from the multifrequency bioelectrical impedance measurement may have possibility to detect changes of the fluid distribution between intracellular and extracellular spaces.
So, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of BISA as a monitor of the fluid distribution in patients arrive at the hospital with cardiopulmonary arrest.
