Background: Intraoperative fluid therapy maintains normovolemia, normal tissue perfusion, normal metabolic function, normal electrolytes, and acid-base status. Plethysmographic variability index has been shown to predict fluid responsiveness but its role in guiding intraoperative fluid therapy is still elusive.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to compare intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy based on plethysmographic variability index with liberal fluid therapy in term neonates undergoing abdominal surgeries.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated two treatment methods—supervised exercise alone versus arthroscopic partial meniscectomy followed by exercise—for patients with medial meniscal tears confirmed by MRI.
- A total of 100 adults participated, with assessments of pain and knee function conducted using various scoring systems at the start, 2 months, and 6 months post-intervention.
- The results indicated no significant difference in improvement between the two methods, suggesting that patients may benefit from delaying surgery in favor of conservative management.
