  1. Abbreviations: CPAP, continuous positive airway pressure; ND, no data; op, operative.
  2. aSome of the patients’ baseline data has been presented previously [12].
  3. bOperating time was approximately 10 hours, and patients received some 17 litres of fluids during surgery.
  4. cBalance was calculated as input (the amount fluids) given minus output.
  5. cPost-operative weight increased on the first post-operative day after surgery, and decreased below baseline level before discharge.
