Authored by influential physicians in perioperative fluid management
Describes recent major updates in the field, such as the revised Starling principle, goal directed fluid management and perioperative use of albumin
Discusses the relation between positive fluid balance and patient mortality
This book presents the most recent evidence-based facts on perioperative fluid management and discusses fluid management from basic sciences to clinical applications and the patients’ outcomes.
Recent advances in understanding the Revised Starling principle with new concepts in tissue perfusion and the most recent techniques of perioperative goal directed fluid management are described. The endothelial glycocalyx functions and the influence of fluid management on its integrity are covered in detail; moreover, the techniques for its protection are also discussed. The dilemma of perioperative use of hydroxyethyl starch solutions and the resurgence of interest in using human albumin as an alternative colloid is explored. The problems of using unbuffered solutions during the perioperative period and comparison between restrictive versus liberal fluid management are discussed in full.
Perioperative Fluid Management will be of interest to anesthesiologists and also intensivists.
