In this study, we observed that fluid balance and volume administered on postoperative day 2 was greater in pat ients who developed postoperative AF than in those who did not. We also found th at net fluid balance on postoperative day 2 was an independent predictor of post operative AF among patients not receiving prophylactic therapy.展开更多
