Implication

May inform postoperative monitoring; leaves open whether cardiac output optimization improves survival after surgical trauma.

Key Points

To examine the physiological patterns of cardiac output and peripheral resistance during recovery from major surgical trauma.
Assessed circulatory responses and cardiovascular adaptation following major operative trauma.
Monitored physiological markers of circulatory failure, including systemic oxygenation and acid-base balance, during postoperative convalescence.
Patients who fail to elevate cardiac output following surgery frequently develop tissue hypoxia and progressive metabolic acidosis.
Inability to sustain adequate cardiac output and compensatory circulatory function postoperatively is associated with a high incidence of mortality.
