Intraoperative fluid optimization using stroke volume variation in high-risk surgical patients: preliminary results of a randomized prospective single-center study

Abstract

Patients undergoing elective intraabdominal vascular and nonvascular surgery were randomly assigned to a control group with routine intraoperative care and a SVV group with fluid management guided by SVV derived from the Vigileo/FloTrac system. The intervention target was to maintain the SVV index below 10% with colloid boluses of 3 ml/kg. Postoperative ICU care was the same for both groups. A total of 80 patients were enrolled and randomized in the SVV (n = 40) and control (n = 40) groups.CC - HS-INJCC - HS-HANDSRCHUD - 03/03/2014CD - 08/12/2011
