This study evaluates whether using information from a special arterial blood pressure monitor to guide how much fluid is given during surgery changes how long a patient stays in the hospital after the surgery. There is scientific evidence from using similar information from different devices that this technique might allow us to do a better job giving fluids during surgery and that this may be associated with shorter hospital stay after surgery.

Pulse contour waveform analysis derived stroke volume variation will be used to guide intraoperative fluid administration. Additional fluid boluses will be given to the patient when SVV \> 12%.

Quality of Recovery Score on Postoperative Day 2
Measure of quality of recovery (QOR) using scoring system in 9 domains as assessed by patient and nursing team. Score for each domain is assigned as 0, 1 or 2; the sum of scores is the QOR score with a range of 0 to 18. Higher scores indicate better quality of recovery after surgery.
Time frame: Postoperative day 2
Quality of Recovery Score on Postoperative Day 4
Measure of quality of recovery (QOR) using scoring system in 9 domains as assessed by patient and nursing team. Score for each domain is assigned as 0, 1 or 2; the sum of scores is the QOR score with a range of 0 to 18. Higher scores indicate better quality of recovery following surgery.
Time frame: Postoperative day 4
