Fluid overload risk in pneumonectomy merits monitoring; leaves open whether restriction improves outcomes in randomized studies.
Does positive fluid balance exceeding 4000 mL during anaesthesia increase the risk of postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing elective pneumonectomy?
In patients undergoing elective pneumonectomy, a positive fluid balance exceeding 4000 mL during anesthesia is a major risk factor for postoperative pulmonary complications and in-hospital mortality.
Møller et al. (2002) studied this question.
