Background Optimization of perioperative fluid management is a controversial issue.

Results Eighty-six patients were included: 29 in the liberal group, 23 in the restricted group, and 34 in the GD group. The mean duration of surgery was 6 [4-7] h. Patients in the liberal group received more perioperative fluid than those in the GD and restricted groups. Nearly one third of all patients had a major complication, including delayed enteral feeding, and presented a longer duration of hospital stay. Despite the biases related to our limited cohort, there were significantly fewer postoperative complications (such as postoperative fistula, abdominal collection, and hemorrhage) in the restricted and GD groups of patients than in the liberal one.

Abstract

Background Optimization of perioperative fluid management is a controversial issue. Weight-adjusted, fixed fluid strategies do not take into account patient hemodynamic status, so that individualized strategies guided by relevant variables may be preferable. We studied this issue in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery within our institution. Methods All patients who underwent a laparotomy for pancreatic cancer during a 5-month period at our hospital (AOUI of Verona, Italy) were eligible to be included in this prospective, observational study. According to the responsible anesthesiologist's free choice, patients received, during surgery, either liberal (12 ml/kg/h) or restricted (4 ml/kg/h) fixed-volume weight-guided replacement fluids or goal-directed (GD) fluid replacement using stroke volume variation (SVV) determined by the FloTrac Vigileo device. Results Eighty-six patients were included: 29 in the liberal group, 23 in the restricted group, and 34 in the GD group. The mean duration of surgery was 6 [4-7] h. Patients in the liberal group received more perioperative fluid than those in the GD and restricted groups. Nearly one third of all patients had a major complication, including delayed enteral feeding, and presented a longer duration of hospital stay. Despite the biases related to our limited cohort, there were significantly fewer postoperative complications (such as postoperative fistula, abdominal collection, and hemorrhage) in the restricted and GD groups of patients than in the liberal one. Conclusion In patients undergoing pancreatic surgery, a restricted or individually guided GD strategy for management of perioperative fluids can result in fewer complications than a liberal fluid strategy. Larger and randomized investigations are warranted to confirm these data on this domain.
