Effect of restrictive versus liberal fluid therapy for laparoscopic gastric surgery on postoperative complications: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Currently, laparoscopic surgery is a standard technique in the field of abdominal surgery. However, the most adequate fluid regimen during laparoscopic surgery remains unclear. The aim of this trial is to compare a restricted fluid therapy with a liberal fluid therapy for laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Our hypothesis was that restrictive fluid therapy would reduce postoperative complications better than liberal fluid therapy.

Method

In this randomized controlled trial, patients scheduled for laparoscopic gastric surgery were randomized to either the liberal group (receiving 7-10 ml/kg/h of crystalloid) or the restrictive group (receiving 1-2 ml/kg/h of crystalloid) for each stratum of surgical procedure from April 2017 to March 2019. For both groups, blood loss was
