Summary

Purpose: Evidence-based guidelines on optimal perioperative fluid management have not been established in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. Recent randomized trials in major abdominal surgery suggest that large amounts of IV fluid may increase morbidity and hospital stay. This study will investigate the effects of two regimens of intraoperative fluid management ("traditional" vs. "oral") with physiologic and patient function as primary outcome measures after surgery.
