"it may not be necessary to offer all patients GDFT, and this should be reserved, after risk stratification, for high risk patients or for patients undergoing high-risk procedures"

"In high-risk patients and in patients undergoing major colorectal surgery associated with significant intravascular losses, the use of goal-directed fluid therapy is recommended".
"In patients treated with ERPs, advancements in perioperative and surgical care seem to have offset the previously demonstrated benefits of GDFT".
"An optimal GDFT algorithm cannot be recommended".
