Why the study?
Does peroperative hydration with lactated Ringer's solution improve fluid balance and renal clearance compared to a salt-free restrictive fluid regimen in patients undergoing partial gastrectomy?

Comparison
Average of 1700 ml of lactated Ringer's solution… vs 2000 ml glucose in water on the day of operation

Lactated Ringer's was associated with preserved clearance and fluid balance; hypothesis-generating for perioperative regimens pending randomized confirmation.
Does peroperative hydration with lactated Ringer's solution improve fluid balance and renal clearance compared to a salt-free restrictive fluid regimen in patients undergoing partial gastrectomy?
Administration of approximately 500 ml of lactated Ringer's solution per hour of operating time prevents postoperative fluid deficit and maintains normal renal clearance compared to a salt-free regimen.
