Intraoperative fluid replacement and postoperative creatine phosphokinase levels in laparoscopic bariatric patients.
Obes Surg. 2010; (6): 698-701
Morbid obesity and bariatric surgery are both risk factors for the development of postoperative rhabdomyolysis (RML). RML results from injury to skeletal muscle, and a serum creatine phosphokinase (CK) level >1,000 IU/L is considered diagnostic of RML. The aim of this study was to determine if intraoperative intravenous fluid (IVF) volume affects postoperative CK levels following laparoscopic bariatric operations.
