Intraoperative fluid balance and perioperative outcomes following aortic valve surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients who underwent AVR for aortic stenosis, positive intraoperative fluid balance was associated with decreased odds of AKI. Patients developing AKI had increased 30- and 90-day mortality. While the overall incidence was low, increased intraoperative fluid balance was associated with MI and 30-day mortality, while increased ultrafiltration volume was associated with 30- and 90-day morality. Prospective studies are needed to better define proper intraoperative fluid management in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. PMID: 32151580 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
