Perioperative fluid and volume management: physiological basis, tools and strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fluid and volume therapy is an important cornerstone of treating critically ill patients in the intensive care unit and in the operating room. New findings concerning the vascular barrier, its physiological functions, and its role regarding vascular leakage have lead to a new view of fluid and volume administration. Avoiding hypervolemia, as well as hypovolemia, plays a pivotal role when treating patients both perioperatively and in the intensive care unit. The various studies comparing restrictive vs. liberal fluid and volume management are not directly comparable, do not differ (in most instances) between colloid and crystalloid administration, and mostly do not refer to the vascular barrier's physiologic basis. In addition, very few studies have analyzed the use of advanced hemodynamic monitoring for volume management.This article summarizes the current literature on the relevant physiology of the endothelial surface layer, discusses fluid shifting, reviews available research on fluid management strategies and the commonly used fluids, and identifies suitable variables for hemodynamic monitoring and their goal-directed use.

Perioperative fluid management in kidney transplantation: a black box
The incidence of delayed graft function in patients undergoing kidney transplantation remains significant. Optimal fluid therapy has been shown to decrease delayed graft function after renal transplantation. Traditionally, the perioperative volume infusion regimen in this patient population has been guided by central venous pressure as an estimation of the patient's volume status and mean arter...

This article can be broken down into three sections. First is a review of extracellular fluid volume management and some of the key physiological principles involved. Second, there is an appraisal of the merits or otherwise of crystalloids and colloids for volume replacement, and finally, a summary of the key points in our appreciation of the behavior of various cations in the perioperative per...
متن کاملTowards a new standard of perioperative fluid management
Recent studies suggest that current fluid strategies may result in excessive administration of both fluids and electrolytes. Perioperative fluid administration is dictated by an algorithmic approach, taking account of pre-operative deficit, maintenance requirements, and extrapolated third space losses. Salt and water overload is associated with pulmonary edema, ileus, and delayed wound healing....
متن کاملIntraoperative fluid restriction improves outcome after major elective gastrointestinal surgery.
Fluid therapy is one of the most controversial topics in perioperative management. There is continuing debate with regard to the quantity and the type of fluid resuscitation during elective major surgery. However, there are increasing reports of perioperative excessive intravascular volume leading to increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Recent evidence suggests that judicious periop...
متن کاملPerioperative Fluid Management 2002
Although most aspects of perioperative fluid management have remained relatively constant for more than two decades, new concepts and practices are currently evolving. Until the mid-to-late 1960s, the prevailing strategy of perioperative fluid management was rigid restriction (1). After Shires et al. (2,3) convincingly demonstrated that major surgery and trauma were associated with fluid requir...
