Effect of Intraoperative Fluid Restriction on Postoperative Outcomes in Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS)

Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the effects of two intraoperative fluid regimens - restrictive versus liberal (standard)- on postoperative outcomes (e.g. cardiopulmonary complications, morbidity, mortality and duration of hospitalization) in lung resections via Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).
