Perioperative fluid management in neurosurgery is optimal with a strategic goal of therapy and a comprehension of the underlying pathophysiology. The aim of therapy is maintenance of normovolemia, and as a result cerebral and spinal cord perfusion pressures. Isotonic crystalloids are a rational choice for optimal outcomes. Early detection and correction of fluid abnormalities helps in the preservation and restoration of neurologic function.
