Effects of goal-directed fluid management guided by a non-invasive device on the incidence of postoperative complications in neurosurgery: a pilot and feasibility randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The positive effects of goal-directed hemodynamic therapy (GDHT) on patient-orientated outcomes have been demonstrated in various clinical scenarios; however, the effects of fluid management in neurosurgery remain unclear. Therefore, this study was aimed at assessing the safety and feasibility of GDHT using non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring in elective neurosurgery. The incidence of postoperative complications was compared between GDHT and control groups.

Methods

We conducted a single-center randomized pilot study with an enrollment target of 34 adult patients scheduled for elective neurosurgery. We randomly assigned the patients equally into control and GDHT groups. The control group received standard therapy during surgery and postoperatively, whereas the GDHT
