Review
Restrictive fluid management strategies and outcomes in liver transplantation: a systematic review.
Restrictive fluid management strategies have been proposed to reduce complications in liver transplant recipients. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the effects of restrictive perioperative fluid management strategies, compared with liberal ones, on postoperative outcomes in adult liver transplant recipients. Our primary outcome was acute kidney injury (AKI). Our secondary outcomes were bleeding, mortality, and other postoperative complications. ⋯ Based on low or very low levels of evidence, we did not find any association between restrictive fluid management strategies and AKI, but we observed possible protective effects of intraoperative restrictive fluid management strategies on other outcomes.
