Patients scheduled for elective neurosurgical procedures present unique considerations regarding perioperative intravenous fluid management in the context of multiple distinctive factors encountered in this patient population. Commonly used indicators for adequate volume replacement such as urine output may be challenging to interpret due to concurrent use of diuretics, for example, mannitol. In this chapter, we discuss the basics of fluid physiology and blood-brain barrier mechanisms regulating fluid shifts. We also discuss preoperative factors contributing to hypovolemia in neurosurgical patients, assessment of volume status, and considerations for volume replacement.
