[Impact of the hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy on the fluid-electrolytes changes and on the acid-base balance].

Background: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) is an innovative treatment of the peritoneal carcinomatosis with potential iatrogenicity. This observational study was designed to improve our understanding of HIPEC's impact on the renal and respiratory functions, on temperature, blood cells counts, body fluids/electrolytes and acid-base balance.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the perioperative care of 20 patients that underwent HIPEC with oxaliplatin (n=19) and mitomycin C (n=1).
