Fluid management is one of the commonest but important tasks in medical practice which involves complex decisions on optimal volume, rate, and type of fluid to be given. Fluid and electrolyte management in pregnancy and postpartum is even more complex. Any disturbance in fluid and electrolytes may require correction in the form of Fluid therapy. It’s essential to know the contents, osmolality , uses, side effects and contraindication of commonly used fluids for judicious management of such conditions. All patients receiving intravenous fluid therapy need regular monitoring including daily reassessments of clinical fluid status, laboratory values (urea, creatinine, and electrolytes), and fluid balance charts, along with weight measurement twice weekly. In this article we will be studying all aspects of fluid resuscitation.
