Goal-directed Fluid Therapy and Postoperative Ileus After Elective Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery Using an Enhanced Recovery Program: a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Goal Directed Fluid Therapy (GDFT)-Esophageal doppler guided and Standard fluid therapy for Postoperative Ileus. Completed, enrolled 128 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Despite Goal Directed Fluid Therapy (GDFT) has shown a reduction of hospitalization and overall complications in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, there is a need to address the effect of implementing GDFT on the incidence of specific surgical complications and in a context of en enhanced recovery program (ERP). Specifically, studies investigating the impact of GDFT on primary postoperative ileus (POI) in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery and using an ERP are missing. It is hypothesized that the incidence of primary POI will be reduced in patients receiving intraoperative GDFT compared to patients receiving Standard Fluid Therapy (SFT) after elective laparoscopic colorectal surgeries with an ERP program.
