[Use of electrolyte solutions in surgery (author's transl)].
The use of isotonic saline and Ringer's lactate in surgery has become widespread following the work of Shires on the sequestration of extra-cellular fluid in hemorrhagic shock. Their use both in military and civilian practice and during hemodilutions in cardiac surgery have shown their efficacy. During intensive care, the risk of pulmonary edema is insignificant when less than 4 liters are given daily. Apart from cases of severe renal failure, they increase diuresis and reduce post-operative renal failure. Their use in appropriate cases permits economies in blood transfusion.
