Summary

Maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance is one of the mainstays of anesthesia. Often patients present to the operating room with intravascular volume depletion secondary to nil per os (NPO) status, acute bleeding, and recent bowel preparation, as well as with electrolyte abnormalities due to coexisting disease. Physical examination is useful in determining volume status, coupled with static and dynamic hemodynamic monitoring.
