Summary

This study tested whether a special breathing maneuver (lung recruitment) can help doctors decide if a patient needs more fluids during surgery. 48 adults having abdominal surgery with protective lung ventilation took part. The goal was to see if changes in heart and lung measurements during the maneuver could predict fluid responsiveness. The study did not provide a treatment, but aimed to improve how fluid status is assessed in the operating room.
