Results Overview

The incidence of overall 30-day postoperative complications will be recorded. These are defined in the MSKCC Adverse Events Program and organized by categories reflecting organ systems and further subdivided into specific complications within those and graded.

Goal-directed Therapy (GDT) After Liver Resection
Patients who undergo an open, elective liver resection, Including those initially approached laparoscopically but converted to an open resection and those undergoing additional procedures. Goal-directed therapy (GDT) embodies a number of physiologic strategies to achieve an ideal fluid balance and avoid the consequences of over- or under-resuscitation.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Standard Fluid Management
n=66 Participants
Prospective single-blinded randomized trial. Eligible patients will be consented for the trial prior to surgery. However randomization will not occur until the operating room. After the liver has been resected, intraoperative randomization will be done by envelopes. Standard fluid management: The patient will receive standard fluid management
Goal Directed Fluid Therapy
n=69 Participants
Prospective single-blinded randomized trial. Eligible patients will be consented for the trial prior to surgery. However randomization will not occur until the operating room. After the liver has been resected, intraoperative randomization will be done by envelopes. Goal directed fluid therapy with the Edwards EV1000 system: This arm will have fluid therapy guided by the Edwards EV1000 system.
