Fluid Management in Cardiac Surgery

Fluid management in cardiac surgery involves carefully balancing the amount of fluids a patient receives during and after the procedure. Proper fluid levels are crucial to maintain blood pressure, support heart function, and ensure adequate blood flow to organs. Surgeons and anesthesiologists monitor factors like heart rate, blood pressure, and urine output to adjust fluid types and volumes. Too much or too little fluid can lead to complications, so a precise approach is necessary to promote recovery and ensure the best outcomes for the patient. This careful management plays a vital role in the overall success of the surgery.
