Fluid management and goal-directed therapy as an adjunct to Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)
(Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, 2016-01-01)Optimal perioperative fluid management is an important component of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways. Fluid management within ERAS should be viewed as a continuum through the preoperative, intraoperative, ... -
Goal-directed or goal-misdirected - how should we interpret the literature?
(Crit Care, 2010)Goal-directed therapy (GDT) can be a vague term, meaning different things to different people and, depending on the clinical environment, sometimes even different things to the same person. It can refer to perioperative ... -
Improving Outcomes in Colorectal Surgery by Sequential Implementation of Multiple Standardized Care Programs.
(J Am Coll Surg, 2015-08)BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the sequential implementation of the enhanced recovery program (ERP) and surgical site infection bundle (SSIB) on short-term outcomes in colorectal surgery ... -

Monitoring needs and goal-directed fluid therapy within an enhanced recovery program.
(Anesthesiol Clin, 2015-03)Patients having major abdominal surgery need perioperative fluid supplementation; however, enhanced recovery principles mitigate against many of the factors that traditionally led to relative hypovolemia in the perioperative ... -
Pathophysiology of major surgery and the role of enhanced recovery pathways and the anesthesiologist to improve outcomes.
(Anesthesiol Clin, 2015-03)Enhanced recovery pathways have been increasingly adopted into surgical specialties with the aim of reducing the stress response and improving the metabolic response to surgical insult. Enhanced recovery pathways encompass ... -
Perioperative fluid and hemodynamic management within an enhanced recovery pathway.
(Journal of surgical oncology, 2017-10)Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) seeks to improve outcomes through individualized optimization of oxygen delivery using IV fluid and vasoactive infusions. Trials of GDFT show clinical benefits over traditional liberal ... -

(J Cardiovasc Pharmacol, 2014-04)Perioperative pulmonary hypertension can originate from an established disease or acutely develop within the surgical setting. Patients with increased pulmonary vascular resistance are consequently at greater risk ... -
Prothrombin Complex Concentrates for Bleeding in the Perioperative Setting.
(Anesth Analg, 2016-05)Prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) contain vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (II, VII, IX, and X) and are marketed as 3 or 4 factor-PCC formulations depending on the concentrations of factor VII. PCCs rapidly restore ... -
Reduced length of hospital stay in colorectal surgery after implementation of an enhanced recovery protocol.
(Anesth Analg, 2014-05)BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal approach to perioperative care that combines a range of interventions to enable early mobilization and feeding after surgery. We investigated the feasibility, ... -
State-of-the-art fluid management in the operating room.
(Best Practice and Research: Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2014-09)The underlying principles guiding fluid management in any setting are very simple: maintain central euvolemia, and avoid salt and water excess. However, these principles are frequently easier to state than to achieve. Evidence ... -
