Does intraoperative fluid management in spine surgery predict intensive care unit length of stay?

0

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether intraoperative fluid management in spine surgery predicts postoperative intensive care unit length of stay (ICU LOS). DESIGN: Retrospective case series. SETTING: University-affiliated medical center. PATIENTS: 103 adult ASA physical status I, II, and III patients undergoing spine surgery. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were divided into three LOS groups: no ICU stay (LOS0) (n = 26), 1 day ICU stay (LOS1) (n = 48), and ICU stay > 1 day (LOS2) (n = 29). Measurements were analyzed by groups using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests, and linear regression. MEASUREMENTS: Demographics, comorbidity, length of surgery, surgical procedure, and intraoperative fluids were recorded. MAIN RESULTS: The important differences in perioperative fluid management among the three groups included estimated blood loss (612 +/- 480 mL, 1853 +/- 1175 mL, 2702 +/- 1771 mL, means +/- SD); total crystalloid administration (2715 +/- 1396 mL, 5717 +/- 2574 mL, 7281 +/- 3417 mL);
