Fluid therapy during paediatric surgery

Intravenous fluid therapy during prolonged surgery.

venous pressure (CVP) is essential. Such a line lies in the superior vena cava and fluctuates easily with respiration. Rehydration is commenced with half normal saline. Pota ium solutions are not used. 3. On receipt of the acid-base, electrolyte and haematocrit readings, an admixture of bicarbonate (44 mEq in an ampoule or 150 mEq in a bottle) and potassium (usually 40 mEq/h) may be necessary. ...

Computational fluid dynamics in paediatric cardiac surgery

Computational fluid dynamics techniques have been applied to study both the local and the global haemodynamics created by different surgical reconstructions, currently used to treat complex congenital heart defects. These operations are characterised by competition of flows which can lead to postoperative failure of the surgical treatment. Different techniques have been used in order to improve...

Efficacy of intravenous fluid warming during goal-directed fluid therapy in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery: a randomized controlled trial

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of intravenous (IV) fluid warming in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery. METHODS Adult patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery were randomly assigned to receive either IV fluids at room temperature (control group) or warmed IV fluids (warm fluids group). Each patient received a standardized goal-directed fluid regimen ba...
