Core Tip

Core Tip: In this study, intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) showed significant clinical benefits in gastrointestinal surgery, including reduced intraoperative bleeding, accelerated postoperative recovery, and alleviated postoperative pain. This fluid management strategy helped maintain patients’ hemodynamic stability, reduced the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications, and improved the success rate of surgical treatment and patients’ quality of life. However, the establishment of specific implementation methods and standards for GDFT requires further research and optimization to ensure safety and efficacy and to provide more accurate guidance for its clinical application.
