This document discusses perioperative fluid therapy. It begins by defining fluid compartments and compositions. It then discusses fluid balance and exchange between compartments via diffusion, osmosis, and hydrostatic/oncotic pressures. Specific conditions like hyponatremia and hypernatremia are examined along with calculating fluid deficits and replacements. Intravenous fluid types and their properties are outlined as well as estimating fluid requirements. Surgical fluid losses and allowable blood loss calculations are provided. Patient positioning and essential anesthesia monitors are also mentioned.
