Abstract
Intraoperative fluid management is a critical aspect of surgical care, influencing a range of postoperative outcomes. Optimal fluid administration can mitigate the risk of complications, yet the precise relationship remains underexplored. To examine the relationship between intraoperative fluid management strategies and the incidence of postoperative complications. This cross‐sectional study analyzed 120 patients who underwent major abdominal surgery at a tertiary care hospital from January 2023 to December 2023. Data on fluid type, volume, and administration rate were collected, alongside postoperative complications up to 30 days post‐surgery. Preliminary analyses suggest a significant correlation between fluid overload and postoperative complications such as surgical site infections, pulmonary edema, and delayed wound healing. Further statistical analysis is underway to refine these findings. Early results indicate that careful modulation of intraoperative fluid volumes may be crucial in reducing postoperative complications. This study underscores the need for tailored fluid management protocols during surgery to enhance patient outcomes.
