Summary
Magnesium sulphate is given to the patients during the colorectal cancer surgery under the
hypothesis that it would attenuate the postoperative hypercoagulability. The investigators
intend to characterize the changes of coagulation in colorectal cancer patients by using the
point-of-care device after the infusion of magnesium sulphate.
