Association of Postoperative Cumulative Fluid Balance and Outcomes Following Elective Cardiac Surgery
A negative or positive cumulative fluid balance on the day of ICU discharge was associated with ~3 to 4 times greater odds of adverse postoperative outcomes, respectively, which was further elevated when fluid imbalance exceeded ~1.5 L. Our findings suggest that postoperative cumulative fluid balance in real-world practice, particularly for elective cardiac surgery patients, warrants greater attention.
