AbstractFluid therapy is one of the basic and most frequently performed medical therapies in everyday clinical practice. However, optimal volume management is a challenge: the application is simple, but the whole volume management is a complex process and physicians have to pay attention on underlying pathophysiology. Intravenous fluids should be prescribed like medications, i. e. the type of fluid and the amount must be adapted to each individual patient with his needs. Intravascular volume therapy is often used peri-operatively and peri-interventionally.Nowadays, crystalloid solutions are widely used and the standard is a balanced electrolyte solution. Only in selected situations 0,9 % sodium chloride solutions should be used, because they contain a high chloride concentration (154 mmol/l) and lead to increased risk of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis.Thieme.
