Decision support guided fluid challenges and stroke volume response during high-risk surgery: a post hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

AFM-initiated fluid challenges were more often associated with the desired increase in SV than were clinician-initiated fluid challenges, and absolute SV increases were greater.

Study context

Population
Patients undergoing high-risk abdominal surgery; fluid challenges of 250-mL crystalloid or albumin boluses over 5 min85 analysed
Participants
86 patients
Comparison
Assisted Fluid Management (AFM)-guided vs clinician-initiated fluid challenges
  • AFMn = 44
  • Controln = 42reference
Primary endpoint
Rate of fluid responsiveness (increase in stroke volume (SV) of ≥ 10%) after fluid challenge
Methodological detailspost hoc analysis
  • Post hoc analysis

Primary result

As reported in the abstract
