Pneumatic Compression of the Legs to Reduce Fluid Demand in Minor Surgery

Fluid restriction has become of great interest in perioperative care. There is, however, a conflict of interest between fluid restriction and hemodynamic stability. The investigators hypothesized that intermittent pneumatic compression may recruit blood from venous capacity vessels of the lower limbs and thus enable fluid restriction without compromising hemodynamic stability.
