Abstract
Background Intraoperative fluid (IOF) administration plays an important role during major abdominal surgery although increased fluid intake can adversely influence postoperative outcomes. However, the effect of the IOF rate on the outcomes of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is unclear. Methods 151 patients, who underwent PD at Binzhou Medical University Hospital between January 2010 and May 2017, were categorized into three groups according to IOF rates (ml/kg/hr): restricted (<10, n = 47), standard (10–15, n = 76), and liberal (>15, n = 28). Results The overall postoperative morbidity was 56.95%. The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) was 11.26%. The in-hospital mortality rate was 7.28% with the most common cause being grade C POPF and secondary intra-abdominal infections. The patients in the liberal group had significantly higher incidences of POPF (25%) and respiratory complications (21.43%). The other outcome parameters such as recovery of bowel function, hospital stay, and postoperative daily drainage were similar among the groups. Multivariable analysis confirmed the IOF rate to be most strongly associated with POPF (odds ratio: 5.195, confidence interval: 1.142–23.823, P = 0.023) and respiratory complications (odds ratio: 7.302, confidence interval: 0.676–58.231, P = 0.025). Conclusions The IOF rate significantly affects the incidence of POPF and respiratory complications after PD. Careful patient-oriented fluid therapy may help to prevent these complications.
Highlights
Fluid administration, especially of intraoperative fluid (IOF), is an integral part of almost any surgical procedure [1]
There were no statistical differences in age, sex ratio, preoperative serum albumin (ALB) level, and body mass index (BMI) among the three groups (P > 0:05, Table 1)
Several studies have found that the Intraoperative fluid (IOF) rate can influence postoperative outcomes after major abdominal surgery
Summary
Especially of intraoperative fluid (IOF), is an integral part of almost any surgical procedure [1]. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses concerning perioperative fluid management strategies in major operations such as colorectal surgery have found that perioperative fluid restriction is associated with enhanced recovery of gastrointestinal function, and reduced complications and hospital stay [1, 9,10,11]. Intraoperative fluid (IOF) administration plays an important role during major abdominal surgery increased fluid intake can adversely influence postoperative outcomes. The patients in the liberal group had significantly higher incidences of POPF (25%) and respiratory complications (21.43%). The IOF rate significantly affects the incidence of POPF and respiratory complications after PD. Careful patient-oriented fluid therapy may help to prevent these complications
