Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Goal-directed hemodynamic therapy versus restrictive normovolemic therapy in major open abdominal surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
The aim of this study was to compare the occurrence of postoperative complications in patients undergoing elective open abdominal surgery and receiving intraoperative goal-directed hemodynamic therapy or restrictive normovolemic therapy. ⋯ Among patients undergoing major open abdominal surgery, the goal-directed hemodynamic therapy and the restrictive normovolemic therapy were associated with similar incidence of moderate-to-severe postoperative complications and hospital resource use.
