Perioperative Utility of Goal-Directed Therapy in High-Risk Cardiac patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: “A Clinical Outcome and Biomarker-Based Study”
Goal-directed therapy (GDT) encompasses guidance of intravenous (IV) fluid and vasopressor/inotropic therapy by cardiac output or similar parameters to help in early recognition and management of high-risk cardiac surgical patients. With the aim of establishing the utility of perioperative GDT using robust clinical and biochemical outcomes, we conducted the present study.
