Filter by:Buoy is an all-natural, organic, FDA compliant dietary electrolyte supplement that can be dissolved in 8-12oz water (or other liquid) and provide electrolytes in servings of 1/3 teaspoon. This study will evaluate Buoy in hydrating active adults.
Intraoperative fluid management is key component of care for patients undergoing surgery. Hypovolemia and hypervolemia both associate with increased morbidity, length of stay in the intensive care unit and mortality. Thus, maintaining adequate intravascular volume yet avoiding fluid overload is crucial to achieve optimal outcomes. Goal-directed fluid therapy based on arterial pressure waveform analysis is widely used for intraoperative fluid management and have been shown to improve surgical outcomes compared with conventional clinical assessment in several studies. However, dynamic indices of arterial pressure waveform analysis such as pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) are altered by certain situations including elevated intra-abdominal pressure and Trendelenburg position. Intravascular fluid status might thus be misinterpreted. Carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum with increased intra-abdominal pressure and Trendelenburg position are commonly seen in laparoscopic surgeries including colorectal, gynecological, and genitourinary procedures. Understanding how dynamic indices change in these clinical situations are essential for achieving appropriate intraoperative fluid management. This study focus on identifying the effects of different levels of intra-abdominal pressure and angles of Trendelenburg position on dynamic indices of arterial pressure waveform.
The baseline infusion rate during surgery for pediatric patients still is the 'Holliday and Segar' rule (also known as the 4/2/1 rule) The question arises if this rule is not outdated, since it was calculated based on the caloric need of the pediatric population, calculated for cow milk. The study tends to validate the use of bio impedance measurements for registering fluid shifts in the pediatric surgical patients.
