However,excessive fluid expansion after pediatric cardiac surgery adversely influences multiple organ systems. This retrospective,observational study aimedto determine the relationship between the first 24 hours postoperative positive fluid balance and mortality and morbidity in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods In total,256 neonates who had undergone cardiovascular surgery were enrolled. The baseline characteristics,fluid input,output,and clinical outcomes were obtained. Fluid balance was calculated as(total fluid in total fluid out). Cox proportionalhazards regressions were used to analyze the relationship between early positive fluid balance and postoperative mortality. Results No difference was observed between the positive fluid balance group and negative fluid balance group in terms of age,weight,height,RACHS-1 score,cardiopulmonary bypass time,and aortic crossclamp time. Positive fluid balance group patients were more likely to have a higher rate of male(P=0.01),more peritoneal drainage after surgery(P=0.015),higher maximum vasoactive-inotropicscore(P<0.001)than those with negative fluid balance. There was no difference in the duration of mechanical ventilation and hospital length of stay after surgery between two groups(P=0.296 and 0.38,respectively).Predictors of in-hospital mortality from multivariate analyses were cardiopulmonary bypass time(HR 1.01,95%CI 1.002-1.021,P=0.013),chest drainage(HR 1.01,95%CI 1.000-1.011,P=0.045),and positive fluid balance(HR 7.85,95%CI 1.395-44.159,P=0.019). Conclusions Early postoperative positive fluid balance is associated with higher mortality in neonates following cardiopulmonary bypass cardiac surgery. However,postoperative positive fluid balance is not associated with increased duration of mechanical ventilation and hospital length of stay.展开更多

More attention should be paid to fluid therapy that may be an important factor leading to these complications. It is necessary to investigate the correlation between intraoperative and postoperative fluid therapy and early pulmonary complications after LT, then attempt to provide a reasonable fluid therapy in the perioperative period. METHODS: Sixty-two patients who had undergone Ff were enrolled and analyzed retrospectively. Based on early phase prognosis after LT, the 62 patients were divided into a non-pulmonary complication group and a pulmonary complication group. Twenty perioperative variables were analyzed in both groups to screen out several factors causing early pulmonary complications, then the parameters reflecting postoperative recovery were analyzed. RESULTS: The pulmonary complication group had 29 patients (46.77%), 3 (4.84%) of whom died during the perioperative period. Using monofactorial analysis for each variable, the two groups differed in the following variables: preoperative lung function, volume of intraoperative transfusion, volume of intraoperative bleeding, and volume of intraoperative net fluid retention and fluid balance (<=-500 ml) in >= 2 of the first 3 days after operation. Analysis of the relationship between multivariate factors and pulmonary complications after LT by logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that preoperative lung function, volume of intraoperative bleeding, and fluid balance (<=-500 ml) in >=-2 of the first 3 days after operation were influential factors. CONCLUSIONS: It is important to maintain fluid balance during the perioperative period of LT. If the hemodynamics are stable, appropriate negative fluid balance in the first 3 days after operation apparently decreases the incidence of early pulmonary complications after LT. These measures are associated with better postoperative recovery.展开更多
