Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Conventional liberal fluid therapy.  Patients will recieve preload of 500 ml of crstalloid and then a continous infusion of 4-8 ml/kg /hr of 0.9% normal saline using holiday segar method. Blood loss will be replaced by 3:1 crystalloid ratio and colloid as 1:1 ratio. Parameters such as total fluid given total urine output , heart rate blood pressure,pre and post op abg ,cbc and serum creatinine will be mesured. 
Intervention  Plethysomography variability index (PVI)based goal directed fluid therapy.  Patients will receive a preload of 500 ml crystalloid and then maintenance fluid will be started at 2ml/kg /hr. The plethysmography variability index will be measured and if it comes less than 14 percentage will continue the same rate of maintenance fluid. If the percentage is more than 14 we will proceed with fluid challenge. 250 ml of colloid or 250 to 500 ml of crystalloid over 10 min.Parameters such as total fluid given total urine output , heart rate blood pressure,pre and post op abg ,cbc and serum creatinine will be mesured

Brief Summary   Goal Directed fluid therapy aims to tailor fluid administration to the individual patient’s real time physiological needs, using various objective haemodynamic parameters among which plethysmography variability index has emerged as a promising, non invasive and continous monitoring tool derived from the pulse oximetry waveform. The aims is to compare effect of Plethysmography Variability Index based goal directed fluid therapy vs conventional liberal fluid therapy in terms of  mean arterial pressure during gynaecological surgery.
