Goal-Directed Therapy in Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
There is evidence that perioperative goal-directed haemodynamic therapy (GDT) may reduce surgical mortality and morbidity in non-cardiac surgical patients, the data are less clear after cardiac surgery. The objective of this review is to perform a meta-analysis on the effects of perioperative GDT on mortality, morbidity, and length of hospital stay in cardiac surgical patients.
