Abstract
BACKGROUND Urine output < 1 L per 24 h is a clinical warning sign that requires attention from hospital staff, who should determine whether the low flow is due to low habitual intake of water or disease-induced dehydration. The incidence of this condition is unclear. METHODS A cohort of 20 healthy volunteers (mean age 42 years, range 23-62 years) recorded their food and water intakes daily for 8 days. They also collected and measured all urine and delivered first morning urine samples for analysis of osmolality and creatinine. Optimal cutoffs for these biomarkers to indicate urine output of < 1 L or 15 mL/kg during the preceding 24 h were applied with and without correction for age to cross-sectional data from 1,316 subjects in various clinical settings, including healthy volunteers, preoperative patients, patients seeking acute care at a hospital, and patients receiving institutional geriatric care. RESULTS The urine output amounted to < 1 L during 22 of the 159 evaluable study days and was indicated by urine osmolality > 760 mosmol/kg or urine creatinine > 13 mmol/L, which had sensitivity and specificity of approximately 80%. Days with urine output < 1 L were associated with significantly less intake of both water (-41%) and calories (-22%) compared to other days. Application of age-corrected biomarker cutoffs to the 1,316 subjects showed a stronger dependency of low urine output on age than the clinical setting, occurring in 44% of the 72 participants aged 15-30 years and 18% of the 62 patients aged 90-104 years. CONCLUSION Biomarkers measured in morning urine of young and middle-aged volunteers indicated urine output of < 1 L with good precision, but the cutoffs should be validated in older age groups to yield reliable results.

Abstract
Induction of general anaesthesia is often accompanied by hypotension. Standard haemodynamic monitoring during anaesthesia relies on intermittent blood pressure and heart rate. Continuous monitoring systemic blood pressure requires invasive or advanced modalities creating a barrier for obtaining important information of the circulation. The Peripheral Perfusion Index (PPI) is obtained non-invasively and continuously by standard photoplethysmography. We hypothesized that different patterns of changes in systemic haemodynamics during induction of general anaesthesia would be reflected in the PPI. Continuous values of PPI, stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were evaluated in 107 patients by either minimally invasive or non-invasive means in a mixed population of surgical patients. 2 min after induction of general anaesthesia relative changes of SV, CO, and MAP was compared to the relative changes of PPI. After induction total cohort mean(± st.dev.) MAP, SV, and CO decreased to 65(± 16)%, 74(± 18)%, and 63(± 16)% of baseline values. In the 38 patients where PPI decreased MAP was 57(± 14)%, SV was 63(± 18)%, and CO was 55(± 18)% of baseline values 2 min after induction. In the 69 patients where PPI increased the corresponding values were MAP 70(± 15)%, SV 80(± 16)%, and CO 68(± 17)% (all differences: p < 0,001). During induction of general anaesthesia changes in PPI discriminated between the degrees of reduction in blood pressure and algorithm derived cardiac stroke volume and -output. As such, the PPI has potential to be a simple and non-invasive indicator of the degree of post-induction haemodynamic changes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid therapy during major surgery can be managed by providing repeated bolus infusions until stroke volume no longer increases by ≥ 10%. However, the final bolus in an optimization round increases stroke volume by < 10% and is not necessary. We studied how different cut-off values for the hemodynamic indications given by esophagus Doppler monitoring, as well as augmentation by pulse oximetry, are associated with a higher or smaller chance that stroke volume increases by ≥ 10% (fluid responsiveness) before fluid is infused. METHODS An esophagus Doppler and a pulse oximeter that displayed the pleth variability index were used to monitor the effects of a bolus infusion in 108 patients undergoing goal-directed fluid therapy during major open abdominal surgery. RESULTS The analyzed data set comprised 266 bolus infusions. The overall incidence of fluid responsiveness was 44%, but this varied greatly depending on pre-infusion hemodynamics. The likelihood of being fluid-responsive was 30%-38% in the presence of stroke volume > 80 mL, corrected flow time > 360 ms, or pleth variability index < 10%. The likelihood was 21% if stroke volume had decreased by <8% since the previous optimization, which decreased to 0% if combined with stroke volume > 100 mL. By contrast, the likelihood of fluid responsiveness increased to 50%-55% when stroke volume ≤ 50 mL, corrected flow time ≤ 360 ms, or pleth variability index ≥ 10. A decrease in stroke volume by > 8% since the previous optimization was followed by a 58% likelihood of fluid responsiveness that, in combination with any of the other hemodynamic variables, increased to 66%-76%. CONCLUSIONS Single or combined hemodynamic variables provided by esophagus Doppler monitoring and pulse oximetry derived pleth variability index could help clinicians avoid unnecessary fluid bolus infusions.

PLoS One 2023; 18:e0290071. [PMID: 37590224 PMCID: PMC10434918 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0290071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Elevations of plasma creatinine are common after major surgery, but their pathophysiology is poorly understood. To identify possible contributing mechanisms, we pooled data from eight prospective studies performed in four different countries to study circumstances during which elevation of plasma creatinine occurs. We included 642 patients undergoing mixed major surgeries, mostly open gastrointestinal. Plasma and urinary creatinine and a composite index for renal fluid conservation (Fluid Retention Index, FRI) were measured just before surgery and on the first postoperative morning. Urine flow was measured during the surgery. The results show that patients with a postoperative increase in plasma creatinine by >25% had a high urinary creatinine concentration (11.0±5.9 vs. 8.3±5.6 mmol/L; P< 0001) and higher FRI value (3.2±1.0 vs. 2.9±1.1; P< 0.04) already before surgery was initiated. Progressive increase of plasma creatinine was associated with a gradually lower urine flow and larger blood loss during the surgery (Kruskal-Wallis test, P< 0.001). The patients with an elevation > 25% also showed higher creatinine and a higher FRI value on the first postoperative morning (P< 0.001). Elevations to > 50% of baseline were associated with slightly lower mean arterial pressure (73 ± 10 vs. 80 ± 12 mmHg; P< 0.005). We conclude that elevation of plasma creatinine in the perioperative period was associated with low urine flow and greater blood loss during surgery and with concentrated urine both before and after the surgery. Renal water conservation-related mechanisms seem to contribute to the development of increased plasma creatinine after surgery.

Effects of Preoperative Carbohydrate-rich Drinks on Immediate Postoperative Outcomes in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2022; 30:e833-e841.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigates the effects of preoperative carbohydrate-rich drinks on postoperative outcomes after primary total knee arthroplasty. METHODS We prospectively randomized 153 consecutive patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty at one institution. Patients were assigned to one of three groups: group A (50 patients) received a carbohydrate-rich drink; group B (51 patients) received a placebo drink; and group C (52 patients) did not receive a drink (control). All healthcare personnel and patients were blinded to group allocation. Controlling for demographics, we analyzed the rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting, length of stay, opiate consumption, pain scores, serum glucose, adverse events, and intraoperative and postoperative fluid intake. RESULTS Demographics and comorbidities were similar among the groups. There were no significant differences in surgical interventions or experience. Surgical fluid intake and total blood loss were similar among the three groups (P = 0.47, P = 0.23). Furthermore, acute postoperative outcomes (ie, pain, episodes of nausea, and length of stay) were similar across all three groups. There were no significant differences in adverse events between the three groups (P = 0.13). There was a significant difference in one-time postoperative bolus between the three groups (P = 0.02), but after multivariate analysis, it did not demonstrate significance. None of the intervention group were readmitted, whereas 5.9% and 11.5% were readmitted in the placebo and control groups, respectively (P = 0.047). The chance of 90-day readmission was reduced in group A compared with group C (odds ratio, 0.08; 95% confidence interval, 0.01 to 0.72; P = 0.02). There were no differences in other postoperative outcome measurements. CONCLUSION This randomized controlled trial demonstrated that preoperative carbohydrate loading does not improve immediate postoperative outcomes, such as nausea and vomiting; however, it demonstrated that consuming fluid preoperatively proved no increased risk of adverse outcomes and there was a trend toward decrease of one-time boluses postoperatively.

Adherence to pre-operative fasting guidelines and associated factors among pediatric surgical patients in selected public referral hospitals, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Cross sectional study. Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2022; 78:103813. [PMID: 35734657 PMCID: PMC9207049 DOI: 10.1016/j.amsu.2022.103813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2022] [Revised: 05/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Fasting before anesthesia is mandatory in children to reduce the complications of regurgitation, vomiting, and aspiration during anesthesia and surgery. Prolonged fasting times have several negative implications in children, because high fluid turnover quickly leads to dehydration, hypotension, metabolic disturbances, and hypoglycemia, resulting in poor anesthetic outcomes. Aims This study aimed to assess adherence to preoperative fasting guidelines and associated factors among pediatric patients undergoing elective surgery in Addis Ababa public hospitals in Ethiopia in 2020. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Addis Ababa, which selected public hospitals in Ethiopia, in 2020. A total of 279 pediatric patients aged <17 years scheduled for elective surgery were included in the study. Data analysis was performed using SPSS V.21, and the values of the variables and factors were checked for associations using logistic regression. Statistical significance was determined at P -value of <0.05. The results are presented in text, tables, charts, and graphs. Results A total of 279 pediatric patients responded to the analysis, with a 98.6% response rate. The majority of the participants (n = 251, 89.96%) did not follow the guidelines for preoperative fasting. The mean fasting time for clear liquids was 10 ± 4.03 (2–18 h) for breast milk 7.18 ± 2.26 (3.5–12 h), and for solid foods 13.5 ± 2.76 (8–19 h). The reasons for which the preoperative fasting delay was due to incorrect order were 35.1%, prior case procedures took longer times 34.1%, and changing sequence of schedule was 20.8%. Conclusion Most children had prolonged fasting. The staff's instructions and schedules were challenged to follow international fasting guidelines. Fasting practice in children still challenged. Fasting orders should be clearly led by organized body. Care givers should have basic information to fasting protocol.

Effect of Carbohydrate-Enriched Drink Compared to Fasting on Hemodynamics in Healthy Volunteers. A Randomized Trial. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11030825. [PMID: 35160276 PMCID: PMC8836957 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11030825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Fasting prior to surgery can cause dehydration and alter hemodynamics. This study aimed to determine the impact of a carbohydrate-enriched drink (NutriciaTM Pre-op®) on selected hemodynamical parameters, measured in a non-invasive manner. We enrolled 100 healthy volunteers and measured their weight, height, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), thoracic fluid content (TFC), thoracic fluid index (TFCI), stroke volume (SV), stroke volume variation (SVV), stroke index (SI), cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), heather index (HI), systolic time ration (STR), systemic time ratio index (STRI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) by a Niccomo™ device, implementing the impedance cardiography (ICG) method. Measurements were performed at the beginning of the study, and after 10 h and 12 h. We randomly allocated participants to the control group and the pre-op group. The pre-op group received 400 mL of Nutricia™ preOp®, as suggested in the ERAS guidelines, within 10 h of the study. Student’s t-test or the Mann–Whitney U test were used to compare the two groups, and p < 0.05 was considered significant. We did not observe any changes in hemodynamical parameters, blood pressure, and heart rate between the groups. We have proven that carbohydrate-enriched drink administration did not have a significant impact on the hemodynamical parameters of healthy volunteers.

Abstract
Preoperative dehydration is usually found in 30–50% of surgical patients, but the incidence is unknown in the urologic population. We determined the prevalence of preoperative dehydration in major elective urological surgery and studied its association with postoperative outcome, with special attention to plasma creatinine changes. We recruited 187 patients scheduled for major abdominal urological surgery to participate in a single-center study that used the fluid retention index (FRI), which is a composite index of four urinary biomarkers that correlate with renal water conservation, to assess the presence of dehydration. Secondary outcomes were postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), return of gastrointestinal function, in-hospital complications, quality of recovery, and plasma creatinine. The proportion of dehydrated patients at surgery was 20.4%. Dehydration did not correlate with quality of recovery, PONV, or other complications, but dehydrated patients showed later defecation (p = 0.02) and significant elevations of plasma creatinine after surgery. The elevations were also greater when plasma creatinine had increased rather than decreased during the 24 h prior to surgery (p < 0.001). Overall, the increase in plasma creatinine at 6 h after surgery correlated well with elevations on postoperative days one and two. In conclusion, we found preoperative dehydration in one-fifth of the patients. Dehydration was associated with delayed defecation and elevated postoperative plasma creatinine. The preoperative plasma creatinine pattern could independently forecast more pronounced increases during the early postoperative period.

Abstract
Patient safety advocacy involves avoiding, preventing, and amelioration of adverse outcomes or injuries caused by the process of healthcare rather than a patient's underlying medical illness. Intraoperative hypotension (IOH), a common morbid event, reduces perfusion to critical organs and tissues and has a wide incidence, depending on how it is defined. IOH has adverse intraoperative and postoperative consequences, which make its prevention important to improve patient outcomes. Certain populations have even greater consequences related to IOH, and clinicians must understand these risks. In this narrative review, we examine the risk of intraoperative hypotension in the oncological patient population.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of fasting before surgery on patients undergoing thoracic surgery. DESIGN This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1 to June 30, 2017. METHODS The study was carried out with 85 patients who underwent thoracotomy, mediastinoscopy, or rib resection in the thoracic surgery department of a university hospital. All patients started fasting midnight before day of surgery. Data were collected using a questionnaire, Visual Analog Patient Satisfaction Scale, and preoperative laboratory findings form. FINDINGS The mean fasting hours of solids and clear fluids were 8 and 16, respectively, and the mean duration of preoperative fasting (POF) was 10.16 (SD = 1.67), total fasting time average was 28.09 (SD = 7.11). Total protein and albumin levels decreased, and glucose level increased after surgery. The difference between total protein, albumin, and glucose levels preoperatively and postoperatively was significant (P < .05). The difference between patient satisfaction and thirst was found to be statistically significant (P < .05). A positive correlation was found between POF and thirst (r = 0.450; P = .000), hunger (r = 0.402; P = .000), total protein (r = 0.508; P = .000), albumin (r = 0.537; P = .000), and glucose levels (r = 0.371; P = .000). CONCLUSIONS POF had an adverse effect on thirst, hunger, and total protein as well as albumin and glucose levels.

Abstract
Renal water conservation after an overnight fast mirrors the habitual intake of liquid. The hypothesis in the present study was that water conservation influences the diuretic response to infusion of two types of crystalloid fluid. Twenty-three elderly male patients (mean age 72 years) underwent a total of 46 intravenous infusions of 1.0 or 1.5 L of either hypotonic non-electrolyte fluid (glycine 1.5%) or isotonic electrolyte fluid (Ringer's acetate or 0.9% saline). Urine osmolality (used to indicate renal water conservation) and plasma creatinine were measured before the infusions started. A two-volume model was fitted to repeated measurements of the blood haemoglobin concentration and the urinary excretion, using mixed-effects modelling software. Urine osmolality was examined as a potential covariate to the fixed kinetic parameters. The results show that distribution and redistribution of infused fluid occurred twice as fast for the non-electrolyte fluids as for the electrolyte-containing fluids, while the urine flow showed less difference. For both types of fluid, high urine osmolality served as a statistically significant covariate to the rate constant describing urinary excretion. Simulations showed that a high pre-infusion urine osmolality doubled the time required for the kidneys to excrete 50% of a 30-minute infusion. High plasma creatinine independently prolonged the elimination of non-electrolyte fluid. The use of 0.9% saline instead of Ringer's prolonged the excretion of electrolyte-containing fluid. In conclusion, renal water conservation is a determinant of the diuretic response to crystalloid fluid, regardless of whether the fluid contains electrolytes, and it should be considered in fluid balance studies.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the influences of acute and chronic inflammation on the dynamics of fluid shift of Ringer's solution and hemodynamics in patients during surgery. Thirty-seven patients with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grades I-II were enrolled and allocated to two study groups according to the type of disease and operation and inflammation, including patients undergoing emergency appendectomy (Acute group, n = 19) and patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy (Chronic group, n = 18). All of the patients were administered 15 mL/kg of Ringer's lactated (LR) solution at a constant rate over 35 min before the induction of anesthesia. Plasma dilution (PD), volume expansion (VE), volume expansion efficiency (VEE), and extravascular volume (EVV) were calculated based on the concentration of hemoglobin within 2 h post-infusion. Heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressure and urine output were also recorded. PD and VE peaked at the end of infusion, while VEE peaked at the beginning of infusion in all of the patients. After infusion, PD, VE and VEE in the Acute group were all higher than those in the Chronic group (p < 0.05). PD and VE were higher during anesthesia or surgery than during awake or non-surgery (p < 0.001). The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and diastolic pressure (DBP) in the Acute group were significantly lower (p < 0.001) and HR was significantly higher (p < 0.001) than in the Chronic group during the study periods. It was suggested that patients with acute inflammation be treated with individualized fluid therapy during surgery.

Effects of diet, habitual water intake and increased hydration on body fluid volumes and urinary analysis of renal fluid retention in healthy volunteers. Eur J Nutr 2020; 60:691-702.

Abstract
Purpose To increase our knowledge about the causes and physiological consequences of concentrated urine, the relevance of which in the general population is uncertain. Methods Twenty healthy volunteers (mean age 42 years) recorded all intake of food and water for 2 weeks. During the 2nd week, they increased their daily consumption of water by 716 mL (32%). The volunteers delivered a 24-h and a morning urine sample for analysis of osmolality and creatinine during the first 4 days of both weeks, and a sample each time they voided on the other days. The water content of food and liquid was calculated and the body fluid volumes were measured by bioimpedance. Haemodynamic stability was assessed with the passive leg-raising test. Results There was a curvilinear correlation between the daily intake of water and biomarkers measured in the 24-h collection of urine (coefficient of determination 0.37–0.70). Habitual low intake of water was associated with larger body fluid volumes. The increased fluid intake during the 2nd week was best reflected in the 24-h collection (−15 and −20% for the osmolality and creatinine, respectively, P < 0.002), while morning urine and body fluid volumes were unchanged. Increased fluid intake improved the haemodynamic stability in volunteers with a low intake of water (< median), but only in those who had minimally concentrated morning urine. Conclusions The 24-h collection reflected recent intake of fluid, whereas the morning urine seemed to mirror long-term corrections of the fluid balance. Concentrated urine was associated with larger body fluid volumes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in blood haemoglobin concentration indicate plasma volume expansion following hydroxyethyl starch (HES) infusion, but may be affected by vascular tone and HES-induced shedding of the endothelial surface layer (ESL). We hypothesised that anaesthesia-induced hypotension enhances changes in plasma volume as assessed by blood haemoglobin concentration (ΔPVHb , %) following HES infusion. METHODS Fifty-two patients undergoing abdominal surgery were randomised to receive a continuous infusion of saline (S group) or phenylephrine to restore vascular tone (P group) (n = 26 each). Both groups received an infusion of 8 mL/kg 6% HES solution after induction of general anaesthesia. We compared ΔPVHb at the end of fluid infusion (15 minutes) and 15 minutes later (30 minutes) between the two groups. We assessed changes in ESL structure by measuring plasma concentrations of hyaluronate and syndecan-1. P < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Mean arterial blood pressure was lower in the S group approximately by 30-40% compared to the P group (P < .001). ΔPVHb was larger in the S group compared to the P group at 15 minutes (24.9 [5.2] % vs 19.0 [5.2] %; P < .001) and 30 minutes (26.5 [5.9] % vs 16.9 [6.6] %; P < .001). There were no clinically significant differences in plasma concentrations of hyaluronate and syndecan-1 with time and between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Increased volume expansion of circulating plasma following HES infusion in anaesthesia-induced hypotension compared to when blood pressure is restored by phenylephrine may result from an attenuation of transcapillary fluid filtration, rather than ESL shedding.

Pre-operative fluid bolus for improved haemodynamic stability during minor surgery: A prospectively randomized clinical trial. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2018; 62:1215-1222.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haemodynamic instability during the induction of anaesthesia and surgery is common and may be related to hypovolaemia caused by pre-operative fasting or chronic diuretic therapy. The aim of our prospective, controlled, randomized study was to test the hypothesis that a predefined fluid bolus given prior to general anaesthesia for minor surgery would increase haemodynamic stability during anaesthetic induction. METHODS Two hundred and nineteen fairly healthy adult patients requiring minor surgery were enrolled. All received standard treatment, including a pulse contour analysing device for non-invasive measurement of cardiac index. Infusion therapy was started in all patients at induction. The intervention group (106 patients) was randomized to receive an additional fluid bolus of 8 mL/kg Ringer's acetate solution before the induction of anaesthesia. The primary endpoint was the incidence of haemodynamic instability, defined as a significant reduction of blood pressure or cardiac index during induction of anaesthesia. RESULTS The interventional group had a lesser incidence of haemodynamic instability during induction (41.5% vs 56.6%, P = .025). This group also had higher cardiac index, stroke volume index, systolic and mean blood pressure and a greater left ventricular end-diastolic area. CONCLUSIONS A fluid bolus prior to anaesthesia reduced the incidence of haemodynamic instability during induction of general anaesthesia. The total fluid volume was slightly greater in the intervention group compared to the control group (1370 ± 439 mL vs 1219 ± 483 mL, P = .007). We conclude that a defined fluid bolus can help stabilizing haemodynamics in patients undergoing general anaesthesia.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text An understanding of the half-life (T1/2) of infused fluids can help prevent iatrogenic problems such as volume overload and postoperative interstitial oedema. Simulations show that a prolongation of the T1/2 for crystalloid fluid increases the plasma volume and promotes accumulation of fluid in the interstitial fluid space. The T1/2 for crystalloids is usually 20 to 40 min in conscious humans but might extend to 80 min or longer in the presence of preoperative stress, dehydration, blood loss of <1 l or pregnancy. The longest T1/2 measured amounts to between 3 and 8 h and occurs during surgery and general anaesthesia with mechanical ventilation. This situation lasts as long as the anaesthesia. The mechanisms for the long T1/2 are only partly understood, but involve adrenergic receptors and increased renin and aldosterone release. In contrast, the T1/2 during the postoperative period is usually short, about 15 to 20 min, at least in response to new fluid. The commonly used colloid fluids have an intravascular persistence T1/2 of 2 to 3 h, which is shortened by inflammation. The fact that the elimination T1/2 of the infused macromolecules is 2 to 6 times longer shows that they also reside outside the bloodstream. With a colloid, fluid volume is eliminated in line with its intravascular persistence, but there is insufficient data to know if this is the same in the clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantification of renal fluid conservation is possible by urine analysis, and the results can indicate dehydration. The present report sought to determine whether this fluid retention correlates with fluid requirements during major abdominal surgeries that have estimated operating times ≥ 2 h. METHODS Urine colour, specific weight, osmolality and creatinine concentration were used to calculate a composite "fluid retention index" (FRI) in 97 patients prior to major abdominal surgery. Goal-directed fluid volume optimization, with hydroxyethyl starch supplemented with a background administration of crystalloid fluid, was used. RESULTS The median preoperative FRI was 3.0. Fluid retention, considered as present when FRI ≥ 3.5, was found in 37% of the patients. Fluid retention was followed by a significantly larger blood loss (+ 125%; 450 vs. 200 ml), higher haemorrhage rate (+ 41%; 123 vs. 87 ml/h) and greater need for both colloid (+ 43%; 1.43 vs. 1.00 l) and crystalloid (+ 18%; 1.28 vs. 1.08 l) fluids. Despite the larger blood loss, the total fluid balance was more positive after surgery in the dehydrated patients (+ 26%; 1.91 vs. 1.51 l; P < 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative fluid retention, as detected in a urine sample, was associated with a greater blood loss and a more positive fluid balance during major abdominal surgery.

Abstract
Standard preparation for a surgical procedure requires patients to fast (nulla per os [NPO]) after midnight before their operation. Unfortunately, given the unpredictable nature of operating room scheduling and unavoidable delays, patients may find themselves anxiously waiting and fasting much longer than expected. In recent years, the usefulness of prolonged fasting to prevent pulmonary aspiration has been questioned. According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) guidelines, unnecessarily prolonged fasting can be avoided by allowing patients to have clear liquids with the minimal fasting time of only two hours. This study examines a random sampling of elective scheduled surgeries at a 439-bed safety-net teaching hospital in Southern California in October 2016. The study revealed significantly prolonged NPO times caused by delays in the scheduling of operation times. An analysis of delays revealed that prior surgical procedures running longer than scheduled were the most common reason for a delay in starting an operation and, subsequently, prolonging patient fasting time. Significantly prolonged fasting times warrant the need for institutional management strategy changes and a revamping of clinical education curriculums.

Abstract
The present study investigated the hemodynamics, vascular and extravascular volume expansion induced by infusion of lactated Ringer's solution in children and adults before surgery. This was a prospective randomized double-blind study. A total of 28 patients (14 children and 14 adult patients; American Society of Anesthesiology status I) scheduled for similar minor pelvic, anal rectal or lower limb surgery were recruited for the present study. All patients were administered with 10 ml/kg of lactated Ringer's solution at a constant rate over 20 min. After fluid infusion, plasma dilutions were calculated based on the concentration of hemoglobin. Heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and urine output were measured before anesthesia was administered for surgery. Results demonstrated that the plasma dilution within 90 min of infusion initiation of lactated Ringer's solution was less pronounced in children compared with adult patients (0.07 vs. 0.16; P<0.001). Children also excreted more of the infused fluid through the kidney within 90 min of infusion initiation than the adults (55% vs. 24%; P=0.01). Following completion of fluid infusion, the volume expansion efficiency was higher in adults [0.82 (0.52-1.00)] than in children [0.46 (0.26-0.68)]. The relative changes in HR were significantly greater in children than in adults 15-60 min after infusion initiation (P<0.01). After 60 min, HRs were comparable between the groups; however, MAP declined significantly from 25-90 min after infusion initiation in children (P<0.05), yet remained nearly constant in adults (P>0.05). Simple regression analysis revealed a positive relationship between the relative changes in MAP and the plasma dilution, and the reduction in MAP in children was able to explain 47% of the variation in plasma dilution (R2=0.47; P=0.007). In conclusion, different hemodynamics and dynamics of fluid shift of Ringer's solution prior to surgery in children and adults may provide anesthesiologists with new information of how to administer fluid treatment for each patient.

Abstract
Background: The present study was undertaken to identify factors that correlate with the gain in body weight after surgery. Methods: Twenty-one patients (median age of 49 years) were randomized to receive either Ringer × s acetate or 6% dextran 70 as their first infusion fluid during cholecystectomy or hysterectomy. Each patient's body weight was measured before the surgery and on the first postoperative morning. Blood and urine samples were analyzed for signs of stress, inflammation, and kidney injury. The fluid retention index (FRI), which reflects how strongly the kidneys excrete or retain fluid, was also calculated. Results: The body weight increased by a median of 0.4 kg in the crystalloid fluid group and by 1.0 kg in the colloid fluid group (maximum 2.5 kg, P < 0.01). This difference was due to less urinary excretion after surgery in the colloid group (P < 0.03). The increase in body weight did not correlate with the infused fluid volume, the plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein or cortisol, or the urinary excretion of albumin, cortisol, or neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. However, the body weight increased with the postoperative FRI score (r = 0.64; P < 0.003) and with the surgery-induced change in FRI score (r = 0.72; P < 0.002). Conclusion: How strongly the kidneys excrete or retain fluid, which can be assessed by urine sampling, was the strongest indicator of the increase in body weight during the day of surgery. The amount of fluid alone did not correlate with the gain in body weight.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Renal conservation (retention) of fluid might affect the outcome of hospital care and can be indicated by increased urinary concentrations of metabolic waste products. We obtained a reference material for further studies by exploring the prevalence of fluid retention in a healthy population. METHODS Spot urine sampling was performed in 300 healthy hospital workers. A previously validated algorithm summarized the urine-specific gravity, osmolality, creatinine, and color to a fluid retention index (FRI), where 4.0 is the cut-off for fluid retention consistent with dehydration. In 50 of the volunteers, we also studied the relationships between FRI, plasma osmolality, and water-retaining hormones. RESULTS The cut-off for fluid retention (FRI ≥ 4.0) was reached by 38% of the population. No correlation was found between the FRI and the time of the day of urine sample collection, and the FRI was only marginally correlated with the time period spent without fluid intake. Volunteers with fluid retention were younger, generally men, and more often had albuminuria (88% vs. 34%, P < 0.001). Plasma osmolality and plasma sodium were somewhat higher in those with a high FRI (mean 294.8 vs. 293.4 mosmol/kg and 140.3 vs. 139.9 mmol/l). Plasma vasopressin was consistently below the limit of detection, and the plasma cortisol, aldosterone, and renin concentrations were similar in subjects with a high or low FRI. The very highest FRI values (≥ 5.0, N = 61) were always accompanied by albuminuria. CONCLUSION Fluid retention consistent with moderate dehydration is common in healthy staff working in a Swedish hospital.

Abstract
Background The infusion of large amounts of Ringer’s lactate prolongs the functional gastrointestinal recovery time and increases the number of complications after open abdominal surgery. We performed an open-labelled clinical trial to determine whether hydroxyethyl starch or Ringer’s lactate exerts these adverse effects when the surgery is performed by laparoscopy. Methods Eighty-eight patients scheduled for major abdominal cancer surgery (83% by laparoscopy) received a first-line fluid treatment with 9 ml/kg of either 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (Voluven) or Ringer’s lactate, just after induction of anaesthesia; this was followed by a second-line infusion with 12 ml/kg of either starch or Ringer’s lactate over 1 hour. Further therapy was managed at the discretion of the attending anaesthetist. Outcome data consisted of postoperative gastrointestinal recovery time, complications and length of hospital stay. Results The order of the infusions had no impact on the outcome. Both the administration of ≥ 2 L of Ringer’s lactate and the development of a surgical complication were associated with a longer time period of paralytic ileus and food intolerance (two-way ANOVA, P < 0.02), but only surgical complications prolonged the length of hospital stay (P < 0.001). The independent effect of Ringer’s lactate and complications of food intolerance time amounted to 2 days each. The infusion of ≥ 1 L of hydroxyethyl starch did not adversely affect gastrointestinal recovery. Conclusions Ringer’s lactate, but not hydroxyethyl starch, prolonged the gastrointestinal recovery time in patients undergoing laparoscopic cancer surgery. Surgical complications prolonged the hospital stay.
