• A Rational Approach to Perioperative Fluid Management (2008, methodology): “The patients in the restrictive group of MacKay et al. had a body weight decrease of 0.5 kg, whereas the increase in their liberally treated group ( 0.7 kg) was even less than that of the restrictive group of Lobo et al. ( 1.1 kg).”
