The role of intraoperative fluid optimization using the esophageal Doppler in advanced gynecological cancer: early postoperative recovery and fitness for discharge.
To determine the effect of fluid optimization using esophageal Doppler monitoring (EDM) when compared to standard fluid management in women who undergo major gynecological cancer surgery and whether its use is associated with reduced postoperative morbidity. ⋯ Intraoperative fluid optimization with EDM in women with advanced gynecological cancer may be associated with improved postoperative recovery and early fitness for discharge. Studies with adequate power are needed to investigate its role in reducing postoperative complications.
