Effect of Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy on the Postoperative Gastrointestinal Function and Length of Stay after Major Abdominal Oncologic Surgery-A Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract:Background and Objective
Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (POGD) is a leading cause of delayed hospital stay after abdominal surgery. Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) may improve gastrointestinal (GI) function, but the evidence for beneficial effects of GDFT for recovery of GI function remains controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of GDFT on the postoperative recovery of GI function and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing major abdominal oncologic surgery.
