Abstract
Significant numbers of patients who undergo major surgery experience postoperative problems, the majority of which are preventable. It has been demonstrated that goal-directed therapy, a method for guiding clinicians in administering fluids, vasopressors, and inotropes, reduces mortality and postoperative complications. However, heart transplant patients were not exclusively investigated. This study focused on patients having heart transplant surgery, which compared the effects of goal-directed versus traditional fluid management.
