Title: The role of cardiac output and fluid responsiveness measurements in improving outcomes after major abdominal surgery in adults.

Synopsis:

Increasing cardiac output during major abdominal surgery can potentially reduce complications that result from a relative lack of oxygen delivery to vulnerable organs.  The compiled published studies showed a reduction in complications in a meta-analysis but this was not confirmed in a prospective randomized control trial.  Separately, a higher cardiac output was observed in patients that had additional intraoperative fluid with a reduction in kidney injury.  The limitations of the technologies used were also studied.  The benefit of a higher cardiac output is more limited than initially suggested and may be influenced by the precision of the cardiac output technology.
