2. Figure 1
A logit-transformed Lowess smoothing curve shows a break value of intraoperative infusion rate of 6 mL/kg/h associated with the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (arrow). The initial increased frequency of pulmonary complications (mainly pneumonia) was thought to be secondary to renal complications (need for dialysis or high creatinine values) due to very limited intraoperative fluid infusion.
