Comparative StudyImplementation and effects of pulse-contour- automated SVV/CI guided goal directed fluid therapy algorithm for the routine management of pancreatic surgery patients.
Goal directed fluid management in major abdominal surgery has shown to reduce perioperative complications. The approach aims to optimize the intravascular fluid volume by use of minimally invasive devices which calculate flow-directed variables such as stroke volume (SV) and stroke volume variation (SVV). ⋯ Implementation of a SOP for a GDT in the daily routine using flow-related parameters is feasible and is associated with better outcomes in pancreatic surgery.
