Increased perioperative fluids linked to body composition shifts in head and neck surgery; hypothesis-generating for restriction trials before practice change.
Does perioperative fluid administration impact body composition and postoperative complications in patients undergoing major head and neck surgery?
High-volume perioperative fluid administration in head and neck surgery is associated with fluid shifts and factors that increase the risk of postoperative complications.
