Implementation and effects of pulse-contour- automated SVV/CI guided goal directed fluid therapy algorithm for the routine management of pancreatic surgery patients

BACKGROUND: 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 volu me variation (SVV). OBJECTIVE: We aimed to show the feasibility of routinely implementing this type of hemodynamic monitoring during pancreatic...
