A prospective, double-blinded study. The present study consisted in applying Stroke volume variation fluid guided therapy to old patients (65 years old) undergoing radical resection of colon surgery. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of norepinephrine and phenylephrine in treating perioperative hypotension, and to find the safest and most effective vasopressor for elderly.
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) as guide for tailoring perioperative fluid therapy to achieve individualized hemodynamic endpoint, target hemodynamic goals of stroke volume index (SVI) greater than 35 mL/m2 and cardiac index greater than 2.5 L/min/m2 and tissue oxygen delivery. Lactate levels as a surrogate indicator of organ perfusion as measured by arterial blood gas analysis intraoperatively, after 12 hours and 48 hrs postoperatively
Fluid administration during and after surgery is an essential part of postoperative care to maintain the patients' fluid and biochemical balance. Abdominal surgical procedures are associated with dehydration from preoperative fasting, bowel preparation, and intra- and postoperative fluid and electrolyte loss. So, perioperative fluid management has been a topic of much debate over years and has intensified especially over the past several years.
In this retrospective cohort study, the investigators reviewed and analyzed the electronic medical records of consecutive patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy either via laparotomy or laparoscopy. Intraoperative fluid administration amount, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and readmission rate were evaluated. The total fluid amounts were calculated using the sum of colloids multiplied by 1.5 or 2.0 and crystalloids.
This is a pilot study to investigate whether patients at advanced age are fluid responders via a reversible fluid challenge, the passive leg raise test. This will be measured with a non-invasive cardiac output monitor, the LiDCO (LiDCO Hemodynamic monitoring) .
To evaluate the application of fluid-infusion therapy with the combination of stroke volume variation (SVV) and cardiac index (CI) as the primary judgment in non-severe patients underwent resection of gastrointestinal tumor. Fifty patients (ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ, 26-55 years old, cardiac functional gradingⅠ) scheduled for gastrointestinal tumor surgery were divided into two groups randomly: group C with CI as the primary judgment and group S with the combination of SVV and CI as the primary judgment.
Salt fluids are used extensively for acutely ill patients who are admitted to hospital. Two salt fluids commonly used are Normal Saline and Ringer's Lactate. Both are used to rehydrate patients, restore fluid volume and help stabilize blood pressure and failing organs. Both salt fluids have been used for several decades. Until recently, it was thought the fluids are essentially equivalent other than some minor differences related to the concentration of salt components (sodium and chloride) and buffers (Ringer's Lactate has lactate as a buffer). Recent data suggest that salt fluids containing less chloride like the Ringer's Lactate, cause less acid in the blood, less kidney failure, and less death. However, the studies to date are small and weak in their design and it is possible that there are no important differences that affect patients. Hence, the research team will conduct a robust pragmatic clinical trial where several academic and community hospitals will be randomized to use either Ringer's Lactate only or Normal Saline only for a period of three months. The trial will yield high quality and robust data to determine if Ringers Lactate reduces death and re-admissions to hospital. Before embarking on this large-scale trial, it is important to conduct a smaller (pilot) trial to evaluate if the larger trial will be feasible and not too costly. In this small trial involving no less than 4 hospitals, the investigators will determine how well the fluid interventions are adhered to in each hospital, record how long it takes to receive approval from research ethics boards and be ready to start the study. The investigators will also record challenges and develop solutions related to the operations of the trial, and describe important clinical and outcome data essential for the design and planning of the large trial.
This study examines the effect of an algorithm for GDT for patients undergoing major surgery under routine conditions.
The purpose of the study is to determine if a protocol that assesses patients' daily fluid intake and output can decrease the overall amount of fluid patients receive during the first five days in the ICU. The study will also determine if decreasing overall fluids can decrease adverse events associated with mechanical ventilation, such as ventilator-associated pneumonias. The protocol will include daily ultrasounds and blood draws to evaluate fluid balance. Ultrasound will be used to measure changes in the diameter of the inferior vena cava with respiration.
