Current consensus on Crystalloids and Colloids in the Perioperative Period in Children
Abstract
Fluid & electrolyte disturbances are extremely common in the peri-operative period. Large amounts of intravenous fluids are frequently required to correct fluid deficits and compensate for blood loss during surgery. Major disturbances in fluid and electrolyte balance can rapidly alter cardiovascular, neurologic and neuromuscular functions. Anesthesiologists must, therefore, have a thorough understanding of the current consensus on crystalloids and colloids in the perioperative period. It is important to remember that guidelines provide guidance and that clinical insight and judgment are also important factors in patient care.Downloads
