Abstract

Fluid and electrolyte balance is of paramount importance for patients undergoing major non-cardiac intrathoracic surgery. The intravenous fluid resuscitation profoundly influences perioperative morbidity and mortality [1]. Despite significant differences in anesthetic techniques during these operations, the approach to the fluid therapy seems to follow the same direction.
