At each stage, management should be informed by monitoring devices which may help indicate the presence of hypovolemia and need for fluids, the response to fluid infusion and the need for fluid removal. Physiological concepts of volume status and fluid therapy Assessing volume status covers several...
Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is a relatively safe and inexpensive solution, easily available as a colloidal volume expanding solution that is commonly used to treat hypovolemia. In the recent past, 6% HES has been tried out for submucosal lifting in EMRs in studies with porcine models with promising...

the gold standard is trying to fix the cause. For this, the AHA has a handy little mnemonic called the 6 H’s and 5 T’s. The H’s are: Hypovolemia (not enough blood), Hydrongen ion (acidosis), Hyper
Thus, hypovolemia, albeit impotant, is not the only cause of reduced tissue blood flow, consequently, maintenance of blood volume may be considered part of a more complex therapeutic approach aimed at restoring tissue oxygenation, which may include the use of inotropes and/or vasoactive drugs. ...
