Authors' recommendations: No studies were identified which compared esophageal Doppler monitoring (EDM) with methods specifically using an arterial line or arterial catheter. In most instances, available evidence suggested a trend towards reduction in length of hospital stay, complication rates and mortality for intraoperative fluid management strategies using EDM compared to those using central venous pressure monitoring (CVP) or conventional clinical assessment (CAA), in adults undergoing surgery. However results need to be interpreted with caution as the differences were not statistically significant in several instances. Strategies with EDM combined with CVP or CAA appeared to be more cost-effective than strategies which involved CVP or CAA alone or in combination in the absence of EDM.
