Brief summary
There has been recent interest in fluid balance during surgery and the impact on patient recovery. However, it is currently unknown whether any anaesthetic drugs substantially impact upon fluid balance during surgery. The aim of this study is to provide a thorough analysis of the medications and infusions provided to patients during a pancreaticoduodenectomy (also known as a Whipple procedure). Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult who underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) at the Austin Hospital between January 2011 and June 2020. Study details This study will be conducted using a review of medical records, and no patient contact is required. The study will review the medical records of adult patients who underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy at the Austin Hospital between 1st January 2011 and 1st June 2020. It is hoped that this research will help to provide a better understanding of fluid balance during surgery and the impact of fluid balance on complications and outcomes after surgery.
