Perioperative fluid management.
The physiologic effects of surgery as well as anesthesia on fluid balance have been discussed. Detailed discussions of some types of surgery and patient populations were included to clarify situations in which fluid management may be unusually difficult. Principles derived from the examination of these situations should make fluid management during the perioperative period easier.
