Investigators normally labelled their traditional standard fluid regimen the "standard" group and compared it with their own restrictive fluid administration model.
A number of changes were made to balance restrictive fluid administration and adequate oxygen supply.
Other studies have compared liberal versus restrictive fluid administration to clarify the best perioperative management.
The purpose was to optimise the perioperative treatment by balancing restrictive fluid administration against an adequate circulation to ensure sufficient oxygen supply.
Previous studies have also suggested that chloride-restrictive fluid administration and a limited use of HES were associated with a decreased requirement for RRT and mortality [ 11, 16, 17, 22, 39].
In light of recent findings supporting the beneficial effect of chloride-restrictive fluid administration on kidney function [ 40], we ensured that albumin solutions had similar or lower chloride concentrations compared to normal saline, and we confirm that the use of crystalloids with lower chloride content was minimal at our institution when the study was conducted.
The use of restrictive measures and administration of sedatives, haloperidol, benzodiazepine and opiates were comparable between both groups.

In Europe, on the other hand, except Scandinavia, a more restrictive attitude towardds home administration of medical abortion has prevailed.
Similar general regimens were used in all departments regarding anesthesia and surgical technique (Husted et al. 2010), and intraoperative fluid administration was restrictive, but was not recorded.
We previously described ON after botulinum toxin administration for restrictive myopathy which was reversed after corticosteroid therapy followed by prompt orbital decompression [ 19].
