Summary

Infusion of intravenous fluids is mandatory especially in major and prolonged surgeries. However, there is no available optimum ideal type of fluid nor a fixed amount suitable for transfusion but it must be individualized for every patient to minimize the side effects of fluids.

Ringer's lactate as an example of crystalloids, causes a transient hypercoagulable state after its infusion, disappears in less than 6 hours of infusion and the coagulation profile returns to its state before Ringer's.

Voluven (Hydroxyehthyl starch 130/0.4) a colloid causes a hypocoagulable state after its infusion, and its effect is prolonged to more than 6 hours after infusion.

The effects of hydroxyethyl starch are not dose-dependent, but they can be remarkable even with mild to moderate amount of blood dilution applying nearly a restrictive fluid transfusion strategy and a goal-directed fluid therapy mode.

The amount of needed crystalloids is much more than that of colloids to maintain patients hemodynamically stable.
