Abstract
BACKGROUND
Intraoperative fluid management is an important aspect of anesthesia management in gastrointestinal surgery. Intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) is a method for optimizing a patient's physiological state by monitoring and regulating fluid input in real-time.
AIM
To evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative GDFT in patients under anesthesia for gastrointestinal surgery.
METHODS
This study utilized a retrospective comparative study design and included 60 patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery at a hospital. The experimental group (GDFT group) and the control group, each comprising 30 patients, received intraoperative GDFT and traditional fluid management strategies, respectively. The effect of GDFT was evaluated by comparing postoperative recovery, complication rates, hospitalization time, and other indicators between the two patient groups.
RESULTS
Intraoperative blood loss in the experimental and control groups was 296.64 ± 46.71 mL and 470.05 ± 73.26 mL (P < 0.001), and urine volume was 415.13 ± 96.72 mL and 239.15 ± 94.69 mL (P < 0.001), respectively. The postoperative recovery time was 5.44 ± 1.1 days for the experimental group compared to 7.59 ± 1.45 days (P < 0.001) for the control group. Hospitalization time for the experimental group was 10.87 ± 2.36 days vs 13.65 ± 3 days for the control group (P < 0.001). The visual analogue scale scores of the experimental and control groups at 24 h and 48 h post-surgery were 3.38 ± 0.79 and 4.51 ± 0.86, and 2.05 ± 0.57 and 3.51 ± 0.97 (P < 0.001), respectively. The cardiac output of the experimental and control groups was 5.99 ± 1.04 L/min and 4.88 ± 1.17 L/min, respectively, while the pulse pressure variability for these two groups was 10.87 ± 2.36% and 17.5 ± 3.21%, respectively.
CONCLUSION
The application of GDFT in gastrointestinal surgery can significantly improve postoperative recovery, reduce the incidence of complications, and shorten hospital stays.
