Study authors Analysis system Type of study Total number of patients Outcomes Benes et al. [30 ] FloTrac RCT 120 FloTrac group had significantly fewer postoperative complications. No difference in hospital length of stay or mortality was seen. Mayer et al. [31 ] FloTrac RCT 60 FloTrac group had significantly fewer complications and a shortened median duration of hospital stay. Cecconi et al. [32 ] FloTrac RCT 40 FloTrac group had a significant decrease in postoperative complications and received more dobutamine intraoperatively. Scheeren et al. [33 ] FloTrac RCT 64 FloTrac group had significantly fewer postoperative wound infections. No significant difference in complications or ICU length of stay. van der Linden et al. [34 ] FloTrac RCT 27 No difference in tissue oxygen delivery (main outcome measure). Bisgaard et al. [35 ] LiDCO RCT 64 LiDCO group had higher stroke volume index and oxygen delivery index in postoperative period. No difference in number of complications or length of hospital stay. Bisgaard et al. [36 ] LiDCO RCT 40 LiDCO group had increased stroke volume index, cardiac index, and oxygen delivery. Statistically significant decrease in complications in LiDCO group. No difference in the median length of hospital stay. Wiles et al. [37 ] LiDCO RCT 128 (planned) Ongoing. No available data.
Goepfert et al. [38 ] PiCCO RCT 100 PiCCO group had significantly fewer postoperative complications, decreased time to achieve ICU discharge criteria, and decreased length of ICU stay.
