The first priority of perioperative fluid therapy in surgical patients is to achieve
an optimal filling of the heart with crystalloids and colloids. This optimizes cardiovascular
function, decreases postoperative morbidity and shortens the duration of hospitalization

]. Therefore, in this article normovolemia always is assumed, and allogeneic blood
transfusions are considered only to increase hematocrit or hemoglobin and not to correct
hypovolemia.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
