Postoperative Fluid Management

Postoperative care units are run by an anesthesiologist or a surgeon, or a team formed of both. Management of postoperative fluid therapy should be done considering both patients’ status and intraoperative events. Types of the fluids, amount of the fluid given and timing of the administration are the main topics that determine the fluid management strategy. The main goal of fluid resuscitation (IV therapy) is to provide adequate tissue perfusion without harming the patient. The endothelial glycocalyx dysfunction and fluid shift to extracellular compartment should be considered wisely. Fluid management must be done based on patient’s body fluid status. Patients who are responsive to fluids can benefit from fluid resuscitation, whereas patients who are not fluid responsive are more likely to suffer complications of over-hydration. Therefore, common use of central venous pressure measurement, which is proved to be inefficient to predict fluid responsiveness, should be avoided. Goal directed strategy is the most rational approach to assess the patient and maintain optimum fluid balance.

What happens to fluid balance during surgery

Homeostasis defines the tendency of the organism to maintain stability and balance. In this manner, body fluid balance is controlled by previously described compartment mechanisms. On the other hand, any physical intervention may cause imbalance of the body fluids. During relatively long lasting major surgeries, which are performed with general anesthesia, whole intake is controlled by the anesthesiologist and fluid loss happens in numerous different ways such as bleeding, drainage of ascites, urination, insensible water loss and “third space losses”. Intraoperative management of acute losses is not covered in this article. However, long term effects of these intraoperative events, such as possible over-hydrating by the anesthesiologist, dehydration, and bleeding should be considered in the postoperative care unit.

High Dose Vitamin C, B, & A For Post Surgical Therapy

IV Vitamin Therapy aims to top up levels of important minerals and vitamins; nutrients such as zinc, selenium and vitamin B6 can maintain your immune system in the face of a serious shock to the system. Vitamins C and A are powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals. Vitamin C and zinc are also key factors in the production of collagen.

Vitamins and minerals are required by the body for almost every function, whether for normal maintenance or in times of increased need.

When should I start IV therapy?

If you have recently started surgery, specifically if it was emergency surgery, and you discover your recovery is not going as expected, then IV Vitamin Therapy will start providing valuable nutrients instantly. However, to get the most from this treatment, starting your IV Vitamin Therapy in advance of your surgery, even by just a couple of weeks, can ensure you’re not suffering from a nutrient deficiency that could undermine your recovery.
