Goal-Directed vs Traditional Approach to Intraoperative Fluid Therapy during Open Major Bowel Surgery: Is There a Difference?
Table 3
Comparison of duration of surgery and the surgical procedures in the three groups.
| | Parameter | Control group (n = 101) | FloTrac group (n = 100) | Pleth variability index group (n = 100) |
| | Duration of surgery (min)(median ± interquartile range) | 270 (210, 430) | 275 (212, 390) | 240 (210, 330) | | Surgical procedure n (%) | | | | | Whipple’s procedure/triple bypass | 29 (28.7) | 29 (29) | 20 (20) | | Abdominoperineal resection/low anterior resection | 15 (14.8) | 19 (19) | 12 (12) | | Hemicolectomy/sigmoid colectomy/proctocolectomy | 23 (22.7) | 23 (23) | 32 (32) | | Total/distal gastrectomy | 16 (15.8) | 17 (17) | 23 (23) | | GIST (excision and intestinal anastomosis) | 2 (1.9) | 1 (1) | 1 (1) | | GJ + JJ | 16 (15.8) | 11 (11) | 12 (12) |
|

GIST = gastrointestinal stromal tumour; GJ + JJ = gastrojejunostomy + jejunojejunostomy; Kruskal–Wallis test and chi-square test. |
