Pre-operative fluid deficit<br />

<strong>The</strong> pre-operative fluid deficit is determined by calculating the basal fluid requirement over<br />

the period of time that the patient has been fasting, and adding an estimation of other losses<br />

that may have occurred during the pre-operative period. Causes of losses would include<br />

bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea and nasogastric drainage.<br />
