Summary
Reduced urinary output is a common postoperative issue for patients going through major
surgery such as pancreatic surgery. Commonly this is treated by increasing fluid
administration to the patients and sometimes also diuretics. However, overloading patients
with fluid also have several risks and known complications. Studies have also shown that a
short period of decreased urinary output in the postoperative period do not have an increased
incidence of acute renal failure. The aim of our study is to investigate the difference in
renal function and postoperative complications associated with fluid overload on these
patients that are randomized to either receiving a fluid bolus directly when urinary output
decreases or to await for a maximum of four hours to see if urinary output increases
spontaneously.
