This study investigated the impact of perioperative fluid status on adverse clinical outcomes in ambulatory surgery. Two hundred ASA grade I-III ambulatory surgical patients were prospectively randomized into two groups to receive high (20 mL/kg) or low (2 mL/kg) infusions of isotonic electrolyte solution over 30 min preoperatively. A standardized balanced anesthetic was used. A minimal amount ...

Analytical solutions corresponding to the starting flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid between rotating cylinders are established. If the radius of the inner cylinder tends to zero the flow within a circular cylinder is obtained. The well-known solutions for a Navier-Stokes fluid, as well as those corresponding to a Maxwell fluid and to a second grade one, appear as limiting cases of our solutions. The ...
