Evaluation of the Use of Arterial Pulse Waveform Contour Analysis for Early Goal Directed Therapy in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery
This study evaluates whether using information from a special arterial blood pressure monitor
to guide how much fluid is given during surgery changes how long a patient stays in the
hospital after the surgery. There is scientific evidence from using similar information from
different devices that this technique might allow us to do a better job giving fluids during
surgery and that this may be associated with shorter hospital stay after surgery.
