Fluid management in living donor hepatectomy: Recent issues and perspectives

Figure 2 Effect of stroke volume variation-directed fluid management on blood loss during living donor right hepatectomy. The control group (< 10% SVV) received usual fluid management (6-10 mL/kg per hour during surgery), whereas the high SVV group underwent fluid restriction (2-4 mL/kg per hour until completion of hepatectomy) with SVV ranging from 10% to 20%. Blood loss was significantly lower in the high SVV than in the control group. SVV: Stroke volume variation. Reproduced data with permission[15].
