An Assessment of Goal-Directed Intraoperative Fluid Management in Hand Assisted Laparoscopic Colectomy

October 20, 2009 updated by: Spectrum Health Hospitals

A Randomized Prospective Double Blind Assessment of Goal-Directed Intraoperative Fluid Management in Hand Assisted Laparoscopic Colectomy: Standard Care Versus Either Colloid and Crystalloid

The purpose of this study is to find out if guided fluid administration with the esophageal monitor is superior to standard fluid administration and whether use of the hetastarch or lactated ringers offers different benefits with respect to length of stay in the hospital after hand-assisted colorectal surgery.
