Study Notes
Fluid Therapy
- Involves the administration of fluid to a patient
- Used to maintain homeostasis in situations where an animal's fluid intake is insufficient to meet its needs
- Used to replace any fluid losses
Fluid Therapy Purpose
- To replace lost fluid and electrolytes
- To maintain normal fluid and electrolyte balance, particularly when intake is inadequate or there are ongoing losses
- To maintain blood pressure and circulation
Fluid Therapy Administration
- Involves the administration of fluid to a patient
- Used to maintain homeostasis when an animal's fluid intake is insufficient to meet its needs
- Used to replace any fluid losses
Fluid Therapy Purpose
- To replace lost fluid and electrolytes
- To maintain normal fluid and electrolyte balance, particularly when intake is inadequate or there are ongoing losses
- To maintain blood pressure and circulation

- Used to replace any fluid losses
Fluid Therapy Indications
- Fluid therapy is performed to treat dehydration in animals
- It is used to provide and maintain daily maintenance fluid requirements for hospitalized patients who cannot consume oral fluids
- Therapy is used to replace ongoing fluid losses, such as cases of diarrhea
- It is used to treat emergency patients in shock, for example, those suffering from hemorrhage
- Fluid therapy is used to support patients undergoing general anesthesia
Fluid Therapy
- Performed to treat dehydration, provide daily maintenance fluid requirements, replace ongoing fluid losses, treat shock, and support patients undergoing general anesthesia.
Types of Fluids
- Two main types: crystalloids and colloids.
- Whole blood and blood products are often grouped under colloids.
- Each type of fluid has a different physiological effect within the body when administered.
Selecting the Appropriate Fluid
- The most appropriate fluid to use depends on the individual animal's situation.
- The veterinarian determines which fluid best meets the patient's needs.

Crystalloids
- Most frequently used fluids in veterinary practice
- Electrolyte solutions
Types of Crystalloids
- Isotonic fluids: most common type
- Examples:
- Hartmann's solution/compound sodium lactate
- 0.9% sodium chloride
- Examples:
- Hypertonic or hypotonic solutions: limited applications, rarely used
