Article Synopsis
- Goal-directed therapy (GDT) was evaluated for its impact on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing esophagectomy, comparing results before and after its implementation.
- While there was no significant difference in overall complications, mortality, or hospital stay, GDT led to a notable reduction in prolonged ICU stays and specific complications like pneumonia and mediastinal abscesses.
- Patients receiving GDT had lower fluid administration but higher colloid use, suggesting a more tailored approach to fluid management during surgery.
