Abstract
BackgroundThis study evaluates the short-term impact of fluid administration during gastrectomy for cancer. MethodsA multi-institutional database of patients undergoing gastrectomy for cancer from three tertiary centers was reviewed. Logistic and linear regression analyses were performed. Results205 patients were included. The majority of patients (n = 116, 57%) underwent proximal or total gastrectomy. Median anesthesia time was 280 min (range 95–691 min). Median intraoperative crystalloid administration was 2901 ml (range 500–10,700 ml). Median colloid administration was 0 (range 0–3835 ml), although only 66 patients (32%) received colloid. On multivariate analysis, patients who received <10.0 ml total fluid per minute of anesthesia had a significantly higher risk of complications (OR 4.12, p = 0.010). Crystalloid and total fluid administration ratios did not significantly affect LOS or discharge disposition. ConclusionsRestricting intra-operative fluid resuscitation to <10 ml total fluid per minute anesthesia is associated with an increased risk of complications in patients undergoing gastrectomy for cancer.
