Abstract
Massive fluid losses or shifts are mostly associated with trauma, burns and surgery. They are prominent features of anaphylactic or septic shocks and in some forms of acute pancreatitis. They can be encountered in obstetrics and gastrointestinal bleeds. Less frequent causes of hypovolemia include acute removal of ascitis, haemodialysis, low pressure pulmonary oedema. All these patients need quick restoration of their circulating volume and oncotic pressure. Many solutions are available nowadays to deal with acute hypovolemia [1].
