May support Ringer's lactate to avoid ECV deficit in surgery; hypothesis-generating, requires RCTs before practice change.
Does intraoperative Ringer's lactate prevent extracellular fluid volume deficit in surgical patients compared to dextrose and water?
Intraoperative administration of Ringer's lactate prevents postoperative extracellular fluid volume deficit and associated sodium retention in surgical patients.
