The following article you can download discusses the chief goal of fluid management based upon current understanding fluid imbalance pathophysiology and guideline of the pathophysiology of fluid imbalance. This understanding should be to ensure adequate oxygen delivery by optimizing blood oxygenation, perfusion pressure, and circulating volume, accordingly. And the picture shows cascade of pathophysiologic processes triggered by shock.

You will be described with sections such as hypovolemia case presentation, hypovolemia caused by trauma and dehydration, consequences of hypovolemia, the monitoring of hypovolemia, normovolemia with maldistribution of fluid, fluid flux between the intravascular and extravascular compartments (Starling’s equation), and pathologic condition associated with heightened vascular permeability.
