Preventing perioperative tissue oxygen debt contributes to a better postoperative recovery. Whether the beneficial effects of fluids and inotropes during optimization delivery (DO2) in high-risk surgical patients are due fluids, or combination two is not known. We aimed investigate effect fluid optimization, without use inotropes, on morbidity.
