Abstract
The body fluids can be thought of as existing in two major compartments: intracellular (ICF) and extracellular (ECF) fluid compartments in order to understand distribution of body water. Fluid shifts between intravascular (IVF; plasma) and interstitial (ISF) fluid compartments occur at the level of capillaries. Crystalloid solutions are prepared by dissolving crystalline compounds in water. Colloids are composed of macromolecular particles suspended in a crystalloid fluid solution. The objective of perioperative fluid therapy is to maintain circulatory volume so that end-organ perfusion and oxygen delivery are not compromised. Sodium is the most abundant cation in the ECF. There are limited publications in the veterinary literature specifically about use of transfusions in the perioperative period and during anesthesia. Red blood cell (RBC) products are indicated in anemic patients to improve their oxygen-carrying capacity. Transfusion reactions are categorized as immune mediated or nonimmunologic as well as acute or chronic.
