Intraoperative fluid administration is associated with perioperative outcomes in pancreaticoduodenectomy: a single center retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent studies on perioperative fluid administration in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery have suggested that increased fluid loads are associated with worse perioperative outcomes. However, results of retrospective analyses of the relationship between intraoperative fluid (IOF) administration and perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) are conflicted. We sought to investigate this relationship in patients undergoing PD at our academic center.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of 124 patients undergoing PD from 2007 to 2012 was performed. IOF administration rate (ml/kg/hr) was correlated with perioperative outcomes. Outcomes were also stratified by preoperative serum albumin level.

Results

Regression analyses were
