    Post-surgery, patients lacking salt intake experienced decreased extracellular water and increased aldosterone. Saline infusion prevented this, supporting its necessity after major operations.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Surgical Medicine
    • Body Water Balance

    Background:

    • Major surgery significantly impacts fluid distribution.
    • Postoperative fluid management is critical for patient recovery.
    • Aldosterone plays a role in regulating extracellular water volume.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of major surgery on body water distribution.
    • To assess the role of salt administration in mitigating postoperative fluid shifts.
    • To understand the physiological control of extracellular water volume post-surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a multiple isotope dilution technique to measure body water compartments and exchangeable sodium.
    • Monitored aldosterone secretion rates before and after surgery.

  • Compared two groups of patients: one receiving no salt, the other receiving isotonic saline post-operation.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients without salt showed decreased extracellular water and a significant increase in aldosterone secretion.
    • Patients receiving isotonic saline demonstrated an increase in extracellular water and a minimal rise in aldosterone.
    • Blood volume remained stable in both groups throughout the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • Postoperative sequestration of extracellular water in injured tissues is supported.
    • Moderate infusion of balanced salt solution is necessary to counteract fluid shifts after surgery.
    • This study highlights the importance of fluid management in the immediate postoperative period.
