Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health problem and a leading cause of death and disability. It is frequently accompanied by a hemorrhagic shock (HS). Rapid infusion as quickly as possible of large volumes of crystalloids to restore blood volume and blood pressure is now the standard treatment for patients with combined TBI and HS. This article outlines the use of intravenous fluid therapy in TBI.
The perioperative fluid administration is an important aspect of surgical care but is often poorly understood, and continues to be an empirical exercise. Fluid therapy (FT) is a treatment with fluids in which the final goal of fluid management is to optimize the circulatory system to ensure the sufficient delivery of oxygen to organs. During the perioperative period, many pathophysiological changes occur that alter the normal efficiency of fluid homeostasis. Despite this, the…
