About this Research Topic
This scientific special issue focuses on the crucial aspects of maintaining optimal hemodynamics and fluid balance in surgical patients. The perioperative period presents unique challenges to the stability of a patient's cardiovascular system and fluid status, which can significantly impact surgical outcomes. Proper hemodynamic management and fluid therapy are essential to ensure adequate tissue perfusion while avoiding complications associated with fluid imbalances.
This special issue aims to achieve the following goals:
- Review Current Knowledge: Provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge and advancements in this field. This includes summarizing existing research, guidelines, and best practices, as well as identifying gaps and areas for further investigation.
- Explore Innovative Strategies: To present and discuss innovative strategies, interventions, and technologies related to hemodynamic management and fluid therapy.
- Foster Collaboration: this research topic aims to foster productive discussions and collaborations that can drive advancements in the field.
- Address Clinical Challenges: Address the challenges and controversies surrounding hemodynamic management and fluid therapy in the perioperative setting. This includes topics such as fluid responsiveness assessment, optimal fluid balance, prevention of complications associated with improper fluid administration, and the impact of hemodynamic optimization on outcomes.
- Highlight Patient Outcomes: The special issue aims to explore the impact of hemodynamic management and fluid therapy on patient outcomes, including morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, and quality of life.
- Identify Future Directions: This includes identifying research gaps, outlining potential areas for innovation and improvement, and strategies for implementing evidence-based practices.
- Enhance Clinical Practice: Provide practical insights and evidence-based recommendations that can be translated into clinical practice.
This research topic invites a range of article types, including but not limited to original research, reviews, meta-analyses, case studies, and perspectives, addressing various aspects of hemodynamic management and fluid therapy. The scope includes studies on hemodynamic monitoring techniques, fluid therapy strategies, patient characteristics, surgical factors, pharmacological interventions, complications, and patient outcomes. Authors are encouraged to explore the influence of patient-specific factors and surgical considerations on hemodynamic management. Additionally, the special issue will discuss the use of pharmacological interventions and their impact on optimizing hemodynamics. The studies will examine postoperative complications, morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay, and patient-reported outcomes associated with fluid therapy. The special issue will also focus on pathophysiological bases, such as volume of fluid infused and drug selection, as well as the application of hemodynamic monitoring systems, point of care ultrasound, and predictive models. Overall, the special issue aims to enhance the understanding and application of hemodynamic management and fluid therapy in the perioperative period.
