Fluid therapy is one of the most basic interventions spanning
across all medical and surgical disciplines. Physicians need to
understand the physiology of fluids and electrolytes before they
can evaluate the extent to which disease pathophysiology has
altered the balance, enabling them to determine the type and
quantity of intravenous fluids required for treatment. This new
edition is a practical guide to intravenous fluids and their
administration to surgical patients. Divided into sixteen sections,
the text begins with an overview of normal water balance and
distribution of body fluid. The next sections cover the
pharmacology of different types of intravenous fluid, followed by
discussion on fluid therapy in different medical circumstances, and
concluding with a chapter on fluid calculation. The second edition
has been fully revised to provide the latest information in the
field, and features new topics including fluid choice in the
perioperative period and surgery and stress response. Key points
