Perioperative Fluid Therapy requires the correct selection, amount, and composition of fluids based on the patient's underlying pathology, state of hydration, and type and duration of surgical stress.

Features:

• Provides an expert summary of the management of fluid therapy by world renowned international experts
• Presents a clear overview of currently utilized infusion fluids, alongside novel techniques for vascular access
• Demonstrates with how fluids should be used in daily clinical practice and in critical care, trauma, burn, and neurosurgical situations
• Studies the adverse effects of fluids including allergic reactions and accidental fluid overload
• Offers new insights into the characteristics, management, and administration of the different types of intravenous fluids
• Analyzes the pathophysiology and clinical implications of perioperative fluid excess
• Describes the major changes in fluid and electrolyte homeostasis that can occur after trauma or surgery
