typically requires surgical
hemostasis
•Most anesthetics and
adjuvant drugs cause dose
dependent vasodilation
and myocardial depression
that may lead to
hypotension
•Sympathetic blockade
during neuraxial
anesthesia in relative
hypovolemia
•Positive pressure
ventilation
•Haemorrage
•Coagulopathy

Department of Anesthesiology 19

20. • Distribution:
– Stays almost entirely in the extracellular space.
– Of 1 litre - 750ml extra vascular fluid; 250ml intravascular fluid
– 100ml blood loss – need to give 400ml N. saline [only 25%remains
intravascular
• Complications:
– When given in large volume can produces Hyperchloremic
metabolic acidosis because of highNa+ and Cl- content.
Department of Anesthesiology 20

21. 0.45% Normal saline = ‘Half’ Normal Saline
= HYPOtonic saline
• Cointais- Na+ 77mmol/l, Cl- 77mmol/l,
• Osmo 154mOsm/l
• Indications :
– Fluid therapy for paediatric pt
– Maintenance fluid therapy
• Complications :
– Leads to HYPOnatraemia if plasma sodium is normal
– May cause rapid reduction in serum sodium if used in excess or
infused too rapidly. This may lead to cerebral oedema and rarely,
centralpontine demyelinosis ; Use with caution!
Department of Anesthesiology 21

22. 3.0 % Saline = Hypertonic
saline
• 3% contain 513 mmol/l of Na+ and Cl- each,
• osmol of 1026 mOsm/l
• pH 5.0
• Indications :
– Treatment of severe symptomatic hyponatremia(coma, seizure)
– To resuscitate hypovolemic shock
Department of Anesthesiology 22

23. • Leads to an osmotic gradient between the ECF and ICF, causing
passage of fluid into the Extracellular space.
• Must be administered slowly and preferably with CV line because it
carries risk of causing
– phlebitis
– Necrosis
– hemolysis.
• Complications :
– Precaution in pt. with CHF
– severe renal insufficiency, edema with sod. retention.
Department of Anesthesiology 23

24. Dextrose
5% Dextrose (often written D5W):
• 50g/l of glucose, 252mOsm/l, pH 4.5
• Regarded as ‘electrolyte free’ – contains NO Sodium,
Potassium,Chloride or Calcium
• Indication :
– Primarily used to maintain water balance in patients who are not
able to take anything by mouth;
– Commonly used post-operatively in conjunction with salt retaining
fluids ie saline
– Hypernatremia treatment
Department of Anesthesiology 24

25. • When infused is rapidly redistributed into the intracellular space
• Side effects:
– Iatrogenic hyponatraemia in surgical patient
– Hyperglycemia
– Not compatible with blood ,cause hemolysis
– less than 10% stays in the intravascular space therefore it is of
limited use in fluid resuscitation
Cocn 5% 10% 20% 25% plasma
osmolarity 225 505 1010 1262 290
Department of Anesthesiology 25

• Isotonic
• Indication :Pediatric maintenance fluid
Department of Anesthesiology 29

30. Colloids
• The colloid solutions contain particles which do not readily cross
semi-permeable membranes such as the capillary membrane.
• Thus the volume infused stays (initially) almost entirely within the
intravascular space .
• Stay intravascular for a prolonged period compared to crystalloids.
• However they leak out of the intravascular space when the capillary
permeability significantly changes e.g. Severe trauma or sepsis.
Department of Anesthesiology 30

31. • Because of their gelatinous properties they cause platelet
dysfunction and interfere with fibrinolysis and coagulation factors
(factor VIII) – thus they can cause significant coagulopathy in large
volumes.
• Natural : Albumin
• Artificial : Gelatin and Dextran , Hydroxyethyl starches(HES)
Department of Anesthesiology 31

32. colloids
Avantages Disadvantages
-Prolonged plasma volume support
-Moderate volume needed
-minimal risk of tissue edema
-enhances microvascular flow
-Risk of volume overload
-Adverse effect on haemostasis
-Anaphylactic reaction
- Expensive
Department of Anesthesiology 32

33. ALBUMIN
• Principal natural colloid comprising of 50-60% of all plasma proteins.
• Synthesized only in liver and has a half life of app. 20 days.
• 5% soln is iso oncotic and leads to 80% initial vol expansion ,25%
soln leads to 200-400% increase in vol.
• Used
– For emergency treatment of shock especially due to loss of plasma
– acute management of burns
– fluid resuscitation in ICU
– Hypoalbumineamia
Department of Anesthesiology 33

34. • Side effects :
– Pruritis
– anaphylactoid reactions and
– coagulation abnormalities as compared to synthetic
colloids.
• Disadvantages
– cost effectiveness
– volume overload (in septic shock pt albumin add to
interstitial edema)
Department of Anesthesiology 34

35. Colloid or Crystalloid Resuscitation
• Recommendations:
– Colloid should NOT be used as the sole fluid replacement
in resuscitation ,volumes infused should be limited
because of side effects and lack of evidence for their
continued use in the acutely ill.
• In severely ill patients –
– principally use crystalloid and blood products
– Colloid may be used in limited volume to reduce volume
of fluids required or until blood products are available.
Department of Anesthesiology 35

36. • In elective surgical patients
– Replace fluid loss with ‘physiological Ringer’s solutions.
– Blood products and colloid may be needed to replace
intravascular volume acutely.
Department of Anesthesiology 36

37. Crystalloids vs colloids

44. Deficit
• Deficit = number of hours NPO x maintenance fluid requirement.
• 50% replaced in first hour and 50% in next 2 hours
• Deficit due to fever, vomiting, blood loss, diarrhea
• Degree of dehydration should be assessed and fluid replaced
• Eg:-
• 70 kg pt fasting for 8 hrs
• Deficit : 8 X 110 = 880 ml
Department of Anesthesiology 44

45. Intra Operative Fluid Management
Intraoperative losses
• Third space loss and blood loss
• Third space loss
– isotonic transfer of fluid from the ECF to a non-
functional interstitial compartment
– surgical trauma, burn, infection
– The volume lost is impossible to measure
– Estimated by the extent of surgery and the
clinical response to appropriate fluid
replacement 45
Department of Anesthesiology

46. Intra Operative Fluid Management
• Type of fluid NS or RL
• Maintain adequate blood pressure, heart rate, and urine
output of 1-2ml/kg/min

47. Blood loss
47
Department of Anesthesiology
British Journal of Anaesthesia | CEPD Reviews | Volume 3 Number 1 2003

48. Intra Operative Fluid Management
• Allowable blood loss
(MABL-Maximum allowable blood loss)
(EBV- Estimated blood volume)
• Initial replacement should be with crystalloid in a ratio of 3:1 or
with colloid in a ratio of 1:1
• Platelets and fresh frozen plasma, 10–15 mL/kg, should be given
when blood loss exceeds 1–2 blood volumes
48
Department of Anesthesiology

49. • The transfusion point can be determined preoperatively from
the hematocrit and by estimating blood loss.
• Patient with normal hematocrit should only be transfused
after loss greater than 10 – 20 % of their blood loss.
• The exact point is based on patient condition and the surgical
procedure.
Department of Anesthesiology 49

50. • The amount of blood loss necessary for the hematocrit to fall to 30%
can be calculated as follows:-
– Estimate blood volume
– Estimate the RBC volume at the preoperative hematocrit
– Estimate the RBC volume at the hematocrit of 30%, assuming
normal blood volume maintained.
– Calculate the RBCV lost when the hematocrit is 30%:
• RBCVlost = RBCVpreop – RBCV30%
– Alloiwable blood loss = RBCVlost X 3
Department of Anesthesiology 50

51. • Example:
An 85 kg women has a preoperative hematocrit of 35%. How much
blood loss will decrease her hematocrit to 30% ?
Here,
estimated blood volume = 65ml/kg X 85 kg = 5525 ml
RBCV35% = 5525 X 35% = 1934 ml
RBCV30% = 5525 X 30% = 11658 ml
RBCVlost at 30% = 1934 – 1658 = 276 ml
allowable blood loss = 3 X 276 ml = 828 ml
• There fore, transfusion should be considered only when this patient’s
blood loss exceeds 800 ml.
• Increasingly, transfusion is not recommended until the hematocrit
decreases to 24% of lower (Hb < 8 g/dl), but it is necessary to note
the rate of blood loss and comorbid conditions.
Department of Anesthesiology 51

52. • Clinical guideline commonly used include:
– One unit of RBC raises hemoglobin by 1g/dL (or raises HCT 3%)
– 10 mL/kg transfusion of RBC will Increases the hemoglobin by
about 3 g/dL and hematocrit by 10%
