Evaluation of the Effects of Fluid Therapy on Respiratory Mechanics

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2017-04-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The investigators hypothesize that large doses of fluids used during intraoperative could affect lung parenchyma structure and, consequently, gas exchange and respiratory mechanics. The purpose of this study is to evaluate fluids effects on oxygenation, respiratory mechanics, by using two different solutions: crystalloid or colloid.
