Using a minimally invasive assessment of fluid status and pulse pressure variation monitoring during mechanical ventilation improvements were seen in post-operative complications duration of mechanical ventilation and length of hospital and intensive care unit ICU stay. Many small studies have shown improved outcome using various GDHT techniques but widespread implementation has not occurred. Those caring for perioperative patients need to accept the published evidence base or undertake a larger multi-centre study. In this issue Lopes and colleagues 1 add to the list of studies investigating the concept of goal directed haemodynamic therapy GDHT . GDHT in high risk surgical patients has been investigated for over 20 years 2 . A variety of strategies and monitoring modalities have been applied and in general have resulted in improved patient outcomes 3 . We have worked through pulmonary artery catheters Doppler probes and less invasive methods of cardiac output measurement but the recent paper is the first to use a truly minimally invasive technique to assess the requirement for further fluid infusions above normal perioperative care. In their study of goal directed fluid management based on pulse pressure variation .
