[Impact of a goal directed therapy in the implementation of an ERAS (Enhanced recovery after surgery) protocol in laparoscopic radical cystectomy.]

CONCLUSIONS: The use of a Goal Directed Fluid Therapy in radical cystectomy is related to a greater use of colloids than crystalloids, although its implementation does not affect hospital stay length or postoperative complications. In a multimodal perioperative program a single factor, as it is for the GDT, has little effect as an independent variable, and the combination of strategies has, more likely, a greater effect.
