Clinical Question
In patients who had an increased risk of complication while undergoing major abdominal surgery, does a restrictive fluid regimen compared with a more traditional (liberal) fluid regimen reduce complications and improve disability-free survival?
Bottom Line
Restrictive fluid regimen was not associated with a higher rate of disability-free survival than a liberal fluid regimen 1 year after surgery,but was associated with a higher rate of acute kidney injury.
Major Points
Guidelines
- Guidelines promoting early post operative recovery of patients undergoing major surgery recommend a restrictive intravenous-fluid strategy for abdominal surgery.
