Liver surgery fluid debate: which approach wins?
NCT ID NCT05704387
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two ways of giving fluids during major liver surgery: a restrictive approach that limits fluids, and an individualized approach guided by a computer system. The goal was to see which method leads to less blood loss, fewer complications, and better recovery. 90 adults having major liver surgery took part in the trial.
