Perioperative Fluid Management

ABSTRACT

Fluid management is a key component of perioperative management. During this period the patient may have limited oral intake, significant body fluid shifts, and must be managed using a parenteral route. Fluid and electrolyte requirements, parenteral solutions, and fluid management are reviewed.

KEYWORDS

Fluids - intravenous solutions - monitoring
