Randomized controlled trial compares crystalloids and colloids for intraoperative fluid management, suggesting safety and enhanced recovery.

Supplementing Ringers lactate with balanced colloids improves recovery without increasing renal risk or mortality.
Patients receiving Ringers lactate with colloids showed better gastrointestinal recovery and shorter ICU stays.
This trial involved 120 patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery, ensuring comparable baseline characteristics.
Judicious use of colloids in intraoperative fluid management may enhance outcomes in gastrointestinal surgery.

Sehgal et al. (2025) studied this question.
