Abstract Introduction Foundation Year doctors and Senior House officers are commonly made responsible for fluid prescriptions. Errors could lead to significant poor outcome for the patient. Methodology A total of 36 FY1s and SHOs were asked 8 questions to check their knowledge of the guideline for intravenous fluid therapy in adult surgical patients (GIFTASUP). Following this, a retrospective analysis of fluid prescriptions received by 37 patients who had elective colorectal surgeries was analysed over a 3-month period to see if the fluids received met the GIFTASUP guideline and see how this affected the outcome of the patients. Results 33(92%) of doctors studied are not aware of any guidelines for fluid prescription post operatively. 38(22%) of prescriptions made exceeded 2500mls in 24 hours. Ileus was significant amongst those patients who received fluid volumes more than 2500 mls in 24 hours (p = 0.045). Also, all 4 patients who had pneumonia received fluid volumes exceeding 2500mls in the days preceding the pneumonia. In addition, the length of hospital stay was 15 days and 9 days in those with fluids volumes greater than 2500mls and less than 2500mls in 24 hours, respectively. Conclusion Majority of the Foundation year doctors in MTH are not aware of post-operative fluid guidelines which resulted in errors in the prescriptions made. This is associated with pneumonia, ileus and prolonged length of hospital stay.
