The effect of goal-directed crystalloid versus colloid administration on postoperative pulmonary function: A substudy of a randomized controlled clinical trial
Abstract:Background: Pulmonary function is impaired after major abdominal surgery and might be improved by restrictive fluid administration. Under the assumption of a fluid sparing effect of colloids we tested the hypothesis that an intraoperative colloid-based goal-directed fluid management strategy improves postoperative pulmonary function parameters compared to goal-directed crystalloid administration. Methods: We performed a preplanned, single-center substudy within a recently published trial evaluating the effect … Show more
