Early goal-directed therapy after major surgery reduces complications and duration of hospital stay. A randomised, controlled trial [ISRCTN38797445] (2005, background): “Use of the oesophageal Doppler probe to guide fluid administration during surgery is also associated with improved outcome [9-13] Unfortunately the Doppler probe is not readily tolerated by conscious patients, restricting use to patients who are ventilated following surgery.”
Does the Central Venous Pressure Predict Fluid Responsiveness? An Updated Meta-Analysis and a Plea for Some Common Sense* (2013, background): “A fluid optimization protocol based on maximizing perioperative stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) has been shown to reduce postoperative comphcations and length of stay in patients undergoing major surgery (1-5).”
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Use of Preemptive Hemodynamic Intervention to Improve Postoperative Outcomes in Moderate and High-Risk Surgical Patients (2011, methodology): “35, SV 10% Standard care Wakeling et al.(6) 2005 Fluids SV increase of 10%, CVP increase of 3 mm Hg CVP 12–15, standard care Wilson et al.”
