Lecture 12 Intra-operative Fluid therapy & Peri-Anesthetic Complications Flashcards

1
Q

Why do IV fluids during anesthesia?

A
  1. —Maintain intra-vascular volume
    • —Animals are fasted, unlikely to drink for several hours post-op
    • —Replace fluid losses during anesthesia
      • —Evaporation, respiratory, hemorrhage, urine/sweat
  2. —Compensate for vasodilation effects of anesthetic drugs, support CO/tissue perfusion
    • DO2 = CO x CaO2
  3. —Maintain acid/base & electrolyte normality
